How to use this mapFacing either south or north, look at the appropriate star map. Your view of the sky should roughly match the major stars andconstellations shown. You’ll see more stars as your eyes get accustomed to the dark, so wait for 10-15 minutes if you’re having trouble spotting the constellations. (For full sky maps go to skymaps.com).
