List of the Major Constellations - Skygazing Guide
This list of major constellations is a highly subjective one. Not only does it display a bias to those constellations most easily seen from the Northern Hemisphere, but it is also heavily influenced by my own predilections.

Many of the zodiac’s constellations, such as Pisces and Aquarius, are dim and difficult to find, and I have tried to itemize the constellations that are easiest for a beginner to find. The categorization of the constellations into winter, spring, summer, fall and circumpolar groups is also a bit arbitrary. There is a short description of major stars and unusual features, for each constellation.

You need to download and install SDM SmartHome Device Manager. Since I had a MacBook in another room, I installed SDM Socket Server, which is freeware for Windows. Here are some various programs you might also find useful.
