Here are some constellations with the boundaries clearly marked:

So everything we see in the sky falls into a constellation or straddles the boundary between two or more constellations. (It's confusing if you just look at the funny little ancient stick figures which depict the constellations, without the boundaries being clearly marked.)

Bootes is a constellation in the Northern Sky.

Neat.
I never even knew of its existence before and I'm planning on taking a test on celestial navigation.
(Time to actually study up on this.)
That color-chart makes it a whole lot easier to conceptualize---thanks!
