Something that you can get for free in 5 minutes is Stellarium from
www.stellarium.org.
With Stellarium, you input your location and then you can see your sky in real-time. You can click on and zoom into just about anything to get more info. It's really cool.
You can also go forward or backwards in time, drag the screen around, even see what's in the sky during the day.
You can adjust how much detail you see in the sky, how many labels and stars show up, etc....
