Very fun puzzle! The clues for MAGMA and ERNE were both hilarious but threw me off a little - I was trying to find a lava eagle constellation or something
Very cool, Will! (I would think most places would have your size...)

Amazing construction. I had a hunch about the answer from the get-go but took a while to sort out how to get there.

I'm solving on mobile, so I took a screenshot and used Pocket Paint to highlight the relevant A squares. The shapes of the big and little dippers are spot on. Technically asterisms, not constellations.
