The NASA Star Finder charts are constructed based on the visible night sky at 34° N latitude, about as far north of the equator as Los Angeles, California. Will the constellations on the Star Finder chart shift in the sky if you observe the night sky from further south? (1 point)

Yes, the constellations on the Star Finder chart will shift in the sky if you observe the night sky from further south. The position of the stars and constellations in the sky changes depending on the observer's latitude. The further south you go from 34° N latitude, the more the constellations will appear to shift towards the southern horizon.
