Starting from the handle, the main stars in the big dipper are Alkaid, Mizar and Alcar (an optical double star), Alioth, Megrez, then down to Phecda, across the bottom to Merak, and finally up to Dubhe on the lip. If you extend a line from Merak up through Dubhe about five times the distance, you should find Polaris, the North Star.
