Welcome to the club, I'm a 20+ year photog who got trained on Sat Trucks about 3 years ago. One thing I have noticed is that each op has figured out a system that works for them, I trained with 3 different ops and each had their own system to find the bird, take bits and pieces from anyone you can, and make a system that is repeatable and efficient. Also I have found that the scope picture for each sat will change occasionally as new services move to different sats.
One resource I have found usefull is
SNG Forum
Be sure to drop an introduction email to Leland_Kesler, he's the moderator who grants membership. There's also a very good SNG training Manual that Sam Sinke put together that can be referenced from the
SNG Forum's opening page
I basically learned the 3-4 sats that we use as well as the 2 on each side of them and took pictures of the scope, imported them into the computer, and then went to refind each sat to add the captions, and unique identifiers. There are a few docs in the Sat Location and Identification section of SNG Forum that can help with that but how they look on your truck is what is important.
Lyngsat.com is a good reference for iding other sats.
