At what time of day? What season of the year? It will be all over the night sky depending on the day of the year and between sunrise and sunset. Or, sunset to sunrise - provided you have a clear sky at night in Nova Scotia. Here in NY that's about a 30% chance.
Worthless as "navigation" unless you have a specific time and date. The Earth rotates (you may be unaware or in denial, but it is true). It also wobbles and had a tipped axis so we get things like day and night, and because we orbit the Sun: seasons. A fixed point in the stars is nice, but we're [Earth] all over the place.
Assuming the Templars had 1800's accuracy in whenever with a manual sextant they could get within 0.2 arc minutes - or a square 400 yards by 400 yards. That's about the size of . . . Oak Island. That was the norm up through WWII with handheld sextants, by the way. Still a challenge with a best grade modern handheld sextant.
And further, why would it have anything to do with anything? Or, specifically, anything to do with Oak Island?
