Dear QPs,
There is another mean to find the north with stars. It doesn't work all night long. It depends on where you are on earth.
This is the Orion's constallation ( The Hunter)
For those who don't know this method would you mind to follow those instruction please?
Firstly open 400px...image. This is the constellation. You could noticed tree stars in a raw on the middle of The Hunter.
Secondly open step 1 image. On those tree stars we can put an arrow (feel free to change the color

) this red arrow is near to indicate North.
Thirdly open step 2 image. On this one we can add another arrow. This blue arrow is near to indicate North too.
finally open step 3 image. Between both arrows we can add this white arrow who indicate surely North.
Unless you need a very accurate angle of walking, the red arrow is enough keep your walk / drive northward.
Sorry for the english
