My dad used to point them all out to me when I was a kid but unfortunatly I didn't pay anything like enough attention and therefore can only identify the Plough, Cassiopea and Orion but it always makes me remember him when I see them.

Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be? -
I can spot The Plough & Orion, but (and I love the name) where is and what does Cassiopea look like?To see a world in a grain of sand

Cassiopea looks like a W although it may be on its side or upside down depending on the time of night. It is usually fairly high in the sky at my latitude.Digger-07

Cassiopea is almost directly opposite the plough, just follow the 'indicators' up from the front of the plough to the pole star (Polaris) and Cassiopea is further on again!
Did you know that Cassiopea was used for indicating the time of the year in the middle ages, depending on how it was written, (like an M, or W, or s or z) indicated the season!Blessings

Oooh, clever stuff, it's amazing what we've forgotten over the years.
