Fionnuala,

Stellarium (the main app) has a function whereby you can turn off the ground to see all the stars that surround the Earth – not just the ones above the local horizon. That would be useful for spotting Orion, since some of the time it is below the horizon, and in May/June it is behind the Sun altogether.

On stellarium web, look for the white shape of two trees at the bottom, and click it to turn off the ground.
