Better to use this tried and true method: Find the Big Dipper. Use the handle to &#8220;Arc to Acturus, then spike down to Spica.

The cluster is dim but big, at least 5\u00b0 wide, the size of a golf ball at arm&#8217;s length. Its brightest stars, near its middle, form a sort of inverted Y shape.
