Me too. I can spend ridiculous amounts of time trying to figure out what
I'm looking at near any limb. The best help I get is from a stupid little
globe I bought -- you can rotate it to the rough view angle and suddenly,
oh hey, look at that!
        I'm pretty sure most astro programs have something similar, but I
can never figure them out as fast as I can pick up the little globe.
