The picture below is a replica I made of the sky as I saw it last night. The points have been drawn fairly large so that they’re able to be seen. With the help of Stellarium I was able to actually see full constellations because I had a better idea of what I was looking for but I’m still not convinced that they look like the shape that they’re supposed to look like.
a. Piscis. Azimuth: 30⁰. Altitude: 190⁰ SW. This one was fairly hard to see because it was so low on the horizon.
b. Capricornus: Azimuth: 75⁰. Altitude: 45⁰ NE. The connection of the stars looks a lot more like a bull to me but Stellarium lets you see the image over the constellation which is cool.
c. Jupiter: Altitude: Azimuth: 90⁰. 230⁰ NW. I think this was Jupiter. It could have been a star but it stood out slightly in color.

How do you "draw" these, or is this input from Stellarium?
