STARS LIGHT THE WAY
Find the well-known Big Dipper asterism in Ursa Major. If you consider that this looks like a saucepan, follow a straight line from the vertical handleless side of the pan to the North Star.
The Southern Cross is relatively easy to see, with its four stars arranged like a crucifix. The longer line of the crucifix points towards the South Pole. Confusingly, there is another cross nearby, but that one has five stars.
