I highly recommend getting the Stellarium App on your phone, tablet or computer. You put in your location and you can look at the sky at any time during the night or even the day for that matter and it will tell you exactly what the sky will look like at your location at any given time! It’s wonderful. I also highly recommend this wonderful wonderful website:
It is great for beginners. I started looking at it in 2003 and I have learned so many of the constellations and the stars and their magnitude and the planets and the moon phases etc.. Very fun and educational. Good luck and you should have some wonderful stargazing all summer. I live in Texas, and our views are probably similar.
