To locate due south using the Southern Cross, first identify the constellation, which consists of four bright stars forming a cross shape. Extend the long axis of the cross about 4.5 times its length downward; this line points to the Southern Celestial Pole. From that point, draw an imaginary line directly down to the horizon, and this will give you a reliable indication of due south. Remember that the Southern Cross is visible primarily in the Southern Hemisphere.
