If you are in the northern hemisphere

You need to find ursa minor and ursa major (they look like saucepans) and cassiopeia (W shape)

Once you have found ursa major, report 5 times the end tip’s length as shown.

To make sure you did this right, you can check that the polar star is in ursa minor and corresponds to the center of the line that goes from the center of the W on cassiopeia and the brightest star of the handle in ursa major.

You can also use the square of pegasus or the alignment between the sword, the belt and the head of Orion.

If you are in the southern hemisphere

It is a little bit harder since there aren’t any stars that directly point the north. But if you find the southern cross imagine a line that goes through the two stars that are furthest from the cross outer stars, follow that line towards the horizon (on the right) for 5 times that length. The imaginary point that you can put there indicates the north.
