I found it very helpful to take a little piece of paper and track the pattern in the clouds onto it. Then you can go to your starchart, place the piece of paper on it (make sure not to turn it in any direction) and just systematically work your way around the starchart until you found a place where every dot on your piece of paper is covered with a star - that's your Dreamer constellation.
The pattern is the same scale as the constellation on the chart, only the lone star at the bottom is off a millimetre or two. But it surely made it easier to find for me!

Neverending: I don't know if you have already submitted your chart but I had a problem with it initially. You have to go the menu (where the red button is) and select Add a Star from it. Then you select the lone star. It doesn't seem to work if you try to use the fountain pen.

Ahhh, I finally found it. I used a piece of plastic sheeting to draw out the stars and then took it to boomspeed to find my exact coordinates for that bottom star. That one was surrounded by stars and hard to find the right one at first.

I finally found it using the Boomspeed site, turns out I was looking at the right one, but not connecting the stars right. Boy did I feel dumb.

The Sleeper was easy - mostly because of this page, which I recomend to anyone who needs to chart their sky. The Dreamer I had to ask on a forum.

Yes, that was what the problem was. I was connecting the lone star from the third star instead of adding it, but I finally figured it out, lol. Just forgot to come back and edit my post.

Hey Guys, I've noticed alot of people having troubles finding their constalaitons even with darkfire's awesome starmapper(**** 8gives major props to darkfire8) ).
Neways what my poste is about is a little php program im working on that finds the coordinates of the constalations for you. it works by mapping the similarities in the distance between the stars of diffrent constalations.
if you want you can use it here: http://ricall.freehostia.com/findconst.php
what i really came here to ask for was that if anyone has found any other constalations(even if they havent been released yet) other thenthe sleep and the dreamer, if they could maybe send me the coordinates of the stars in the constellation, so that i can add onto the script. lol hopefully this solves some problems with nto being able to find your constalations... i never did liek those I-Spy books...
Hope you gusy like this. if you wanna send in any coordiantes to me, my neopets username is rickyallen13 or you could just PM me
k so here the constalation coordinates i have now:
Sleeper
Dreamer
Dancer
thanks to...
the_dog_god (ppt)
SnowWolf75 (ppt)
for sending coordinates

Please, help me! I'm getting angry at this constellation finding...
I'm searching for the sleeper and I cannot find it:
Used Ye Olde star Mapper and followed all steps written there, but couldn't find the constellation with it.
Then I used the easy Constelation Coordinate Finder and the result was: 0/3 Total Constellations Found.
What does it mean?
When you were searching for the Sleeper, what was the distance between the star? I mean was it small enough to fit in the round telescope screen? Were the stars the same size? And finally, how was the constellation placed: is it possible that the Sleeper is at different angle? Like upside down?
