Here is what you can find in the night sky during April according to Barry Astronomical Society.

Ursa Major's asterism, the seven bright stars known as the Plough or Big Dipper, will be overhead.

Following alpha and beta pointers leads to Polaris, the pole star.

All Northern Hemisphere constellations rotate around it.

Use these same pointers to find Leo the Lion constellation near the southern horizon.

In the opposite direction, a curved line from the last star in the asterism leads to Arcturus, the bright orange star in the Bootes constellation.

Continue your gaze to the 9 'o'clock position from Arcturus (6 o'clock position), you'll see a tight semi-circle of stars that form the Corona Borealis, or Northern Crown.

The brightest star in the crown, Alpha, is an eclipsing binary system.

The moon will be a crescent close to the Pleiades star cluster on the evening of the 11th around 9pm.

If you're lucky, you might spot a young crescent moon on the 9th.

Note the moon's movements: it's at last quarter on the 2nd, new on the 8th, first quarter on the 15th, and full on the 23rd.

Happy stargazing!
