For us northerners, try Ursa Major. The brightest stars in that constellation form a grouping known as the Big Dipper, which looks like a side on join-the-dots drawing of a saucepan.

And a few of those are only visible from the Southern Hemisphere (e.g., Carina, Crux Australis). However, the figure for the northern hemisphere is something like 45-50. Quite a lot. And many of those have very interesting deep sky objects to boot. Panda Catfish fan and keeper/breeder since Christmas 2002
