On the Heavans Above site once you enter your location you can see a Star Chart for your location for any date or time you desire.

Thanks Don, great information.

My exact location has a rise to ENE so tonight was a game of patience. I had to go to one end of the garden to get a glimpse when the moon was to the East. Using spot metering 300mm +TC17E II (510mm) and aperture priority at f5.6. I managed to get this one that I am rather pleased with and progress has been made personally. This was also shot handheld.
