The following is one of the better ones (click for higher resolution).

The bright star centre top is Deneb, the tail of Cygnus the swan. The rest of Cygnus would be to the right. The open cluster M39 is just visible centre left. The maximum magnitude visible on this 10s exposure is about mag 5 or 6.

Some of the stars look a bit green. AFAIK there aren't really any green stars. It's been photoshopped to try and remove some of the orange light pollution.|IP-ADDRESS|94.168.119.214|MODERATIONFLAG|
