** The following is all in the case Stellarium doesn't work or you choose to skip it. This is the 'hard' way of doing it
Mystic.. I would suggest getting an app (or just an old fashioned gizmo they call a compass..heh) that gives the degree number for the bearing or direction you are facing, and specifically, the exact direction on the 360 degree circle it is, relative to you.
Here is a graphic to show a bit better what I mean by compass bearing:
First...the directions vs. their degree numbers
Next is an actual compass and how it works to use in getting the right number to call a bearing.
BTW.. this can be one confusing mess...depending on how they have tried to illustrate it. I learned the basics of following a compass direction and determining bearing/reverse with creatively planned Easter Egg hunts as a kid, and I can say some of the graphics on the net leave me baffled as to what someone was thinking in presenting them as helpful. I tried to grab the ones to make this a simple thing to see tho...
Now with a real compass, the key is making sure you have it oriented to North on the needle. It should have another line or arrow printed on the dial face or cover, which you then turn and point at the object you want the bearing on. In the above graphic, the circle represents the Compass. The black line represents the dial arm on the compass face, which one end should be red for what points north.
Then the red line above represents the arrow you actually point at the object. You can see between that and the graphic above it, how they get the numbers from the red lines.
This is what that layout looks like on a physical compass:
...and how it looks (which might make a bit more sense to that specific model of compass) when on a map.
Finally, you can just get a phone app (and they are a dime a dozen....free) to point the phone in the right direction and read the number on the screen. It saves all the trouble from the above and shooting bearing lines to determine how it gets located on a sky chart (Like stellarium) later.
** BTW.. If you do want to go the manual route....here is the general mental picture for that important elevation or angle number.
