If you have a (andriod) smart phone install the "sky map" app. Once you
calibrate the compass on the smart phone and point your phone at the sky
(screen facing you) it will show the stars you are looking at with named
planets etc. in the current positions in the sky.

Which is "perzackly" what I was using earlier having last month moved
