If you can, mark (right at the top) where north is on the one facing north, and similarly for south.
If you can get these together let me know by PM

I did the same thing in Stellarium.. it's eerily similar to what I actually see in my yard. I used a free, completely automated tool (you just point it at a folder of images and it does the rest!). I'll post the details if you need it. One thing I want Stelliarium to do is specify the limiting magnitude so I only see on screen what I can actually see in real life. But it's free! Good for the beginner I guess. Even runs well on my laptop.
