What star constellations are visible in Hertfordshire, England in May?

I am due to get married in May and we would like to name the tables after star constellations that are visible in May. We are based near St Albans in Hertfordshire.

Any help would be gratefully received!

This is a great free star chart program that you can download. Tell it where you are and it will tell you what you see. You can reset the day and time to show you exactly what a cloud free night will look like on your wedding day.What star constellations are visible in Hertfordshire, England in May?Here is a map of the sky over St Albans at 9pm on the 15th of may.

The visible constellations are labeled.



The constellations in the upper (north side) of the chart are visible all year round. The ones at the bottom (southern sky) vary as the year progresses.





If you want your guests to be able to find their 'table' in the sky, you may find it easier to name the tables after bright stars instead, since they will be easier to spot in the bright summer (or light polluted) night sky.

(Assuming the British weather cooperates of course!)



Smart phones such as iphone or androids have an excellent sky map applications that you can also use to find stuff in the sky.
