This map was drawn up to be used in mid-April, in the northern hemisphere.

From Marek Kukula, of the Royal Observatory Greenwich:Begin by trying to identify the more prominent star patterns with your naked eye: the saucepan shape of The Plough, the "W" of Cassiopeia, or the bright stars of Gemini – Castor and Pollux. Light pollution can actually help as it blots out all but the brightest stars making it less confusing. Think about getting a basic telescope. Mine cost just £50 and it allows me to see mountains and craters on the Moon, as well as the moons of Jupiter.
