Map for 8pm DST

Aiesh

Attached is a star map for 8pm DST tonight.
Concentrate on learning the planets and bright stars, don't worry too much about constellations.
Look south first, and hold the map with the writing right way up.
Then look north, and hold the map upside-down.
The left side of the map is east and Jupiter is rising in the NE.
The right side of the map is west, Venus and Mars are setting.
Venus, Jupiter, Sirius and Canopus are the brightest objects at 8pm DST.
The southern cross is low in the SE.
The center of the circle is overhead.

The map is from http://www.skymap.com/
