STELLAR GUIDANCE
It is worth first of all remembering and finding some “reference” objects to learn how to locate the stars and constellations in the celestial sphere.
Obviously, under circumstances of metropolitan light, the lighter the sun, the simpler it is to see it in the heavens. Therefore, it is the brightest stars we can sail the simplest route. This is Arcturus–a α Boot (not, of course, a Polar Star,) the lightest bear in the Northern Hemisphere (except the sun). But Arcturus is rather small over the horizon in the summer so we’re going to feel easier for other pivot points.
