Hey Gang,
Thanks for all of the good info. Our local clubs star party is this weekend and I had a nice list of objects, sort of star hopping through the whole sky, however I was going to focus on the summer triangle. Noticed the past tense? Rain all weekend, almost a nor'easter on Saturday. Oh well, we do have three good speakers, some activities for children and stump the club member  .
Again, thanks for all of you imput. Maybe the next weekend?

Sorry to hear about your weather. With luck, the stars will still be there the next time you try.
I have my fingers crossed for this coming weekend. NOVAC's annual Star Gaze is scheduled and the current long range forecast is not the best.

Stellarium is for sure the best way to organize your observing session. And freeware. Those guys are great.

You got that right! 
And I have a ton of different programs on my computer but I aways resort back to Stellarium. That interface alone is quite the work. I think its basic enough for the beginner but also works quite well for the experienced observers. Thumbs up from me!
Clear Skies to All!

I believe that u should try to orgnize your session so the objects u want to observe should be in their highest ascension. So u will have the best seeing possible. As far as possible from the horizon. Slelarium is a great way to simul the night and organize your hit list . During the spring ( im upside down.) Ill start the night at cepheus, then cassiopéia then to perseus , And the wholoe legend . (Pegasus and Andromedae) This on my north horizon.Low and during the beginning of the journey.
Good skies
