The NASA Star Finder charts are constructed based on the visible night sky at 34 degrees N. Latitude, about as far north of the equator as Los Angeles, California. Will the constellations on the Star Finder chart shift in the sky if you observe the night sky from further north
Yes, the constellations on the Star Finder chart will shift in the sky if you observe from a location further north. As you move further north from 34 degrees N latitude, the position of the stars and constellations in the night sky will change. This is because the Earth's rotation axis is tilted relative to its orbit around the Sun, causing the apparent movement of celestial objects with respect to the observer's location on Earth. The farther you move north or south from the latitude for which the Star Finder chart is constructed, the more the constellations will appear to shift in the sky.
