less than I could under a 4.5 sky -- I did this for a night in New Hampshire and I was so lost -- it was not funny -- I cannot find my way under such conditions. Oh, well, if it comes to just finding your way, I suspect most amateur astronomers *know* many more stars than they can name. I know where many stars are in, say, Aquila, but I can only name three of them by proper name. I think that practicing star-hopping definitely gets you familiar faster with patterns in the sky.
