I find it helps to go out one night and line up with a star. E.g. I know that the flare will be at az 258 el 72. So I run planetarium software, step it through different times, and note that a bright star will be at that position in the sky at 21:30 the previous night. I go out at night, note exactly where I stand & where the star is (just touching the top of a tree ...). Then I know where to look when I go out in daylgiht.
