Cheers, I’ll take a look. There’s not much I can see from here and I may not remember much of the info but it’s interesting
Edit: That’s so weird. The Big Dipper/Ursa Major which the Saucepan is from is shown to be in the north east, where on a night it was visible I thought it north west because it looked closer to the setting sun.
Yet it must be showing me the southern hemisphere because Orion is upside down and it’s using my location.
I wonder if the Big Dipper travels in a circle as the earth turns so it can be seen in different areas and different rotations. I wish this had been taught in school.
Yup I use stellarium wihich is free and easy :)
