Which constellation is directly overhead in spring?
That's going to depend on where you are on Earth (your latitude), and on what date you decide to look, and on what time of day or night. You may not have noticed that everything in the sky rotates, and every star rises, crosses the sky, and sets, just like the sun and the moon do, and each star rises about 4 minutes earlier every night than it did the night before. Whatever is directly overhead now, won't be in a half hour from now.
What do astronomers use to plot positions in the sky?
Positions in the sky are measured by angles. The simplest is the altitude, the angle above the horizon, and the azimuth, the direction measured running eastwards from north. There are other systems but always two coordinates are needed to specify a direction. Star positions are measured with a transit-circle, which always faces exactly south, and the stars are timed as they cross the meridian. The altitude gives the star's declination in degrees and the time gives the right-ascension in hours and minutes after a standard direction known as the First Point of Aries has passed.
