New Plan of Action

So I have no real good place at the moment to actually look at the sky. I either need to find a place or make a new plan of action.

I intend to do both - find me a good place but make a change to my strategy until then.

My cousin made an excellent suggestion - starting with the circumpolar constellations. I went and found a picture:


Of these I can easily find Ursa Minor (little dipper), the big dipper portion of Ursa Major (the full constellations is bigger), Cassiopeia, and the part of Draco that loops around Ursa Minor. Cepheus should be up high enough to be seen easily and not hidden by trees. I hope I can see it in my sky.
