Thanks. I think I see The Big Dipper, The Little Dipper, and Draco. Must be facing north....

Not quite. The bright star to the right and above center is Vega in Lyra. Below it is Deneb and Cygnus. So this is near the zenith, looking into the Milky Way

Oh, that *is* the head of Draco to the upper left of Vega, though. :)

This is the second or third reply giving me the correct constellations. I dunno how you guys can see it from a photo. I really need to be looking at the sky to figure out what's up there. You all must have experience with astro-photography (or something).

Cool. As a kid, my Sunday school teacher was Clyde Tombaugh. He used to let us look through his reflector telescope (it was like 8 or 9 inches). In my hometown, they passed a resolution for his widow, they declared Pluto a planet.

Draco is there, but not the Dippers. You can see Deneb (in Cygnus) and Vega (in Lyra), also some stars in Cepheus and Hercules

I assume that's a starlink or some other satellite right in the center, between Vega and Sadr...

I'm on Dark Mode and thought there was something wrong with my screen.
