See your named star from here

Even at a modest observatory site like this one, the principle is the same everywhere in the night sky: any named star has a fixed set of coordinates, so a telescope pointed correctly from Campania can find it just as well as one anywhere else. Name a star and browse the catalogue to see the coordinates for yourself.
