Google "Cartes du ciel 3.0" and download the free software. This is a wonderful planetarium program that you you can use at your own latitude and longitude to get all kinds of views of the night sky.
You can turn the constellations on and off, zoom in on sections of the sky, rotate, etc.
It takes a little getting used to, but it's got tremendous controls and many features.
AND IT'S FREE!!
