Is there a 'north' on a star chart?

Please can somebody advise me about this?

I'm playing around, writing SciFi stories, and it's occurred to me that I've been using star charts as if they're basically the same as terrestrial maps.

So, for example, I'd explain that this star system is west of another star system.

Is this the correct way to describe this positioning?

Thanks.
