    hopefully this helps, there's probably a better way to find it, but id figure with the moon and orion's belt as references, finding the brightest dot in the area shouldnt be too hard

    tricky but i guess that works... i figured just get a really good telescope and tell it to look for mars ... that always does the trick.
