[General Sci-fi] If I was abducted by aliens and taken light years away from earth how could I find my way home if I gain control of the ship?

Assuming the aliens technology is understandable and user friendly you could simply see where they've been and back track. Otherwise you'll have to find a way to orient yourself by finding something like galactic north then figuring out which arm of the galaxy earth is on. Then narrowing your search to every star that's similar to ours. Which even if it takes an hour to visit a star you'd be searching for years possibly even decades. Hopefully you'd have the ability to detect faint radio waves from background radiation and then you would only need to get within around 50 light years of earth to pick up old SETI broadcasts and can triangulate earth's location from there.
