Do you want to learn the constellations? Locate a planet?
What you need is a good star chart. That could be the Interactive Sky Chart on our website. Or the monthly all-sky chart in each issue of Sky & Telescope magazine. Or a star wheel, also known as a planisphere.
Whichever you end up using, we're working hard on a video that will show you everything you need to know about how to use star charts! Please check back soon.

This was excellent and highly informative. Thank you so much for simply thinking to post it. And I appreciate Mr. MacRoberts' enthusiasm. Tell you what, your subscription rate is very reasonable, I'm going to sign up. This seems like a very worthwhile publication (and no folks, I'm not a plant, ha, just a new fan of the night skies).
