Constellations

Clickable constellation maps are provided below. In most cases, all named stars are identified. It should be noted that the way that the lines are drawn on constellations are fairly random, so go by the location of the stars to find them, not the lines. You may also want to check the Asterisms website. I've set up a site where you can test your knowledge of these objects - the constellation quiz site.
