I really wanted to check this out further, because I sure don't want to mislead anyone. I went outside last night & we were mostly clouded over. Could not make out any stars at all in the North or South, but there was a band straight up & to the west where the clouds were thinned out. In the middle of that thin band was Orion's belt. It was very easy to make out because the less bright stars are all drowned out. The kite is pointing about 10 degree's off of true north towards the west.

So you definitely don't want to follow this constellation (unless you want to go NNW ) as true north. However, the top of the kite does point northward & Orion's sword definitely points southward & I will still use this so I can quickly get my general directions down. Then move onto the other constellations (Cassiopeia & Ursa Major) to get a more precise true north.
