Once you find Capella, see if you can make out the five-sided figure of Auriga. (It is difficult to see Capella from temperate latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere. In that part of the world this star is found to the lower right of Taurus at nightfall, either close to the horizon or beneath it.)

Also, look southwest for the constellation Orion, and to the northwest for the constellation Auriga.
