HowTo Use Charts:

Hold chart vertically and turn it so the direction you are facing shows at the bottom.  For example, if you are facing north, turn chart so that the words
Northern Horizon are at the bottom (closest to you).
 
 

Please note:    In order to locate constellations star charts can be helpful, especially to the novice.  However, these maps can be difficult to read because their orientation is slightly different from earth maps.  To find out more about star maps, please click here:  Mapping the Stars
