where am I ?

An internet map of the stars

I work as an airline steward, therefor I travel all the time, I get sometimes to countries in which I do not recognize any celestial constellations . Is there some internet star map I can use that changes every day ?

Here is a map of the main 88 constellations split up into the months when they are best seen in the sky. The months listed assume that you are looking at the sky at 9:00 PM.

 For every hour later than 9:00, add half of a month. For every hour before 9:00, subtract half a month. The constellations are typically visible for more than just one month, depending on where you are on the Earth.

Here is a link writen almost for you!

You have just to follow the directions!
