| 1374228 | 2014-05-06 22:53:00 | The sky is full of crosses and pairs of bright stars and I never put any research into figuring it out :p Not something I was ever taught. One of those things I always meant to find out but never did, then along comes an app and that night I learnt how to locate it. Also for some reason I thought it would be upright as seen on our flag, I assume it looks like that from somewhere? I thought it was standard stuff that every school kid was shown... guess not.. I used to use it a lot when I was out one weekend sailing excursions and wanted to know where North was. |

| 1374229 | 2014-05-06 22:54:00 | Google informs me it rotates around the southern point in the sky so I guess I've always looked at a time when it's laying sideways. If I'm understanding it correctly it should be vertical around 11:30pm tonight |

If I'm understanding it correctly it should be vertical around 11:30pm tonight I normally look up and look for the 2 pointers first, then to the Southern Cross. Other than that, I kinda just know where to look now ;) |
