German astronomy

I don't know where I saw this. Not on Reddit but it looks very Reddity to me. And this is the internet. It has that unprofessional overly obvious fake-ass perversely inauthentic look to it that is so difficult to achieve, and yet I believe it is real.

Well, (Godwin Alert) made sure everything had a Teutonic twist.

It's how to use the pointer stars in the Big Dipper to find the north star.

There's only one Big Dipper at a time up there so it's not as easy as it looks, but still pretty easy because there aren't a lot of stars in the right place for the north star.

H.A.Rey _The Stars A New Way To See Them_ has superb constellation constructions.

I use the book as my mouse pad angled into a top drawer.
