Thanks for posting that! I’ve always enjoyed looking up at the night sky and learning about the constellations. In fact, I’ve had a great time using a program I found called
Stellarium which can basically paint a picture of what your sky should look like from any point on Earth at any date or time.
I would like to ask you if you can give any more details about the third method you posted. I am familiar with the first method, using Ursa Major (the Big Dipper), and I am familiar with Cassiopeia (the ‘W’). I am not familiar with your “kite” however, and I cannot seem to figure out which constellations/stars you’re looking at.
