All constellations are naked eye. Most predate telescopes (pretty sure
Telescopium doesn't ;-)

A planisphere will probaby help. You simply dial in the date and local
time.
These are available for $6- $20 from Orion Telescopes and Binoculars,
Sky Publishing or from a well-stocked bookstore.
For around $100, plus shipping, you can purchase a Stars Above Personal
Planetarium from:

which has the advantages of little or no distortion and of being
difficult to misplace.

A good book is NightWatch, which has seasonal charts that tell you which
constellations are visible at any given time of the year. Lots of other
useful stuff in it too.
