Constellations

Clickable constellation maps are provided below. Once you are at the map you can click on the names of stars, the constellation, asterisms or clusters to find their location on the maps. There is also a link to printable copies of the maps and a list of all the items you'll need to know. It should be noted that the way that the lines are drawn on constellation maps are fairly random, so make sure you use these maps to find the objects initially. If you look at other maps you'll see different lines - that's why you should look at the relative positions of the stars to identify them.
