The great snowflake

Here are constellations, that form the great sky snowflake. For us, people from Northern Hemisphere, it is a symbol of Winter (for you, of Summer). Unfortunately, I can't understand, what should I do to make bright stars more findable (I am talking about Capella, Aldebaran, Rigel, Sirius, Procyon, Castor/Pollux and Betelgeuse).
Of course, such view of this snowflake is strange for you, but only upset it to throw Capella to the horizon.
Unfortunately, I live in Moscow (Russia), so I have great light pollution.
