This is truly an awesome Sigrun! Far too good to moulder forgotten in the archives.

Look at that sky.

It's an omen... for how much troll-blood will be shed.

I miss Kickass Sigrun.

Woahhh... cool. Can we really find these constellations?

Oh yeah, I drew them on top of an actual star map (for my area i.e. southern Finland) so they should be reasonably correct. Orion is easy to see when he’s up, as is Cassiopeia, the others are probably easier to find if you have a live map at the beginning. The Swan is quite obvious too at least here in the autumn. You’ll soon learn to recognize the brightest ones and then it’s easier to navigate.

My star map is here, if you have location on it should show your area: https://www.ursa.fi/taivaalla/tahtikartta/

Or you can give it the location and time. This has the compass directions as well as the constellation names in Finnish though, you’ll probably find a version for yourself by googling for star map.

Note however that all of these may not be visible at the same time - I chose which ones I wanted to draw and looked for a time for each when they are nicely visible (on the map) and thus easy to draw. The ones that are in the same picture are in proper relation to each other for the moment I used, so they are fairly close by on the sky.

If you don’t have proper darkness, many of the stars are only visible in brightest nights. On the other hand if you get to properly black skies, there are so many stars that it may be hard to tell which is which Lumi and the other Hotakainens would have very black skies and they will see how the Swan flies along the Birds’ Path.

I'm glad you guys like it

I suppose the scout is just about to cast as spell on the Troll, no?

Catbirds, one more thing is of course where you are on the planet. Some, such as Mr Orion here, are visible everywhere (although obviously not every night), while others are confined either to the North or the South.

Jitter, this was really amazing! Like the others said, learning about the different constellations from another culture and language is really cool! Also, that night sky website you linked to is spectacular.
