Locating constellations with the aid of the North Star To make a movable astronomical chart, copy or trace the two charts on pages 67-8. Cut out the two circles you have drawn, and paste them on separate pieces of thin cardboard. Also cut out the inner circle of the top disc to represent the line of the horizon. How to use the chart: Lay the disc with the horizon cutout on top of the other disc in such a way that the month in which you are using the chart is on top, and the time of observation is directly opposite it on the bottom. Then fasten the two discs together in this position with paper clips. When you are looking south, turn the entire chart so that the word "south" is at the bottom; when you are facing north, the word "north" should be at the bottom, etc. Through the cutout section you will see the sky as it appears over you.
