They used a transit...which looks a bit like a telescope.
Because Polaris is located at exactly North, and is easily located using the pointer stars on the big dipper, and the Sun always rises in east and sets in the west.
Look for the star that doesn't appear to move in the sky, and looks like all the other stars are rotating around it. This is the north star. Following the North star leads you north.
Stars form in nebulas. They're like star nurseries. The gas and dust in nebulas helps to form stars in their early stages.
For someone with some experience in starwatching, the stars can be used to tell directions, as well as the approximate time of night.
