It is a good place to start. If you live anywhere urban, the North Star is a dim star and nearly impossible to see due to all the ground lights.

You kind of have to guess where it is by sighting a line between the more easily observed Big Dipper and Cassiopeia constellations.

It is also really difficult to see if you are somewhere in the southern hemisphere. wink
