Sydney Observatory night sky map
A map for each month of the year, to help you learn about the night sky
 
April 2013
www.sydneyobservatory.com.au
This star chart shows the stars and constellations visible in the night sky for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, Hobart,  Adelaide and Perth for April 2013 at about 7.30pm (local standard time). For Darwin and similar locations, the chart will still apply, but some stars will be lost off the southern edge while extra stars will be visible to the north. Stars down to a brightness or magnitude limit of 4.5 are shown. To use this chart, rotate it so that the direction you are facing (north, south, east or west) is shown at the bottom. The centre of the chart represents the point directly above your head, called the zenith, and the outer circular edge represents the horizon

Saturn is low in the east in Libra and is near the Full Moon on the 26th. Jupiter can be seen low in the north-west during the early evening and is near the crescent Moon on the 14th. The Southern Cross is high in the sky towards the south-east and is easily located using the two nearby Pointer stars. Nearby are the False and Diamond Crosses that are both often mistaken for the Southern Cross. Prominent constellations include Leo (the Lion), Orion (the Hunter), Gemini (the Twins) and Canis Major (the Great Dog).
