The best way to get sky simulation software
There are a number of sky simulation softwares--The Sky, Starry Night Pro and a host of others. Each of the programs runs from about [money amount] This is a student version of The Sky with all the features functioning for only [money]. I use it for high school classes, college classes and for myself. In addition, it comes with a workbook / instruction guide that will help you understand how to use all the features of the program. If you eventually find that you need the computer control for your telescope or you need the detailed databases down to 30th magnitude, you can then upgrade to the spendy versions.
