Sky Chart: May 2012
 
10:00 pm EDT on April 15, 2012. Looking at Zenith, South at Bottom. (click to enlarge)*
The best way to use this monthly star chart is to face south and hold it overhead with the top of the chart facing North. The bottom of the chart will then, of course, point toward the South. The right portion will point to the W and the left side to the E. (Holding the chart this way resolves the common complaint that "E and W are on the wrong sides!").
