The visible constellations and planets changes over the course of a month and throughout the year, so start with the most obvious and brightest things you can make out and explore them and their surrounding objects. Find out about those objects and then move on from there. Don't try to learn it all at once. Eat the elephant one bite at a time. Our club holds Novice Night events specifically to teach our members that are new to the hobby how to use their equipment and learn the night sky. But you can start by checking out some of these resources we recommend.
