Orion and his mates
Down towards the bottom right of frame you can see the Orion constellation. Not being an astronomer, and having forgotten long ago my astral navigation lessons, that's the only one that i can name.
I took this with my phone, hand-held, last night. I am astonished by what the picture reveals that I missed at the time.
I feel inspired now to hunt down a night sky chart!
Light Pollution
I used to live in a country that is pretty dark at night. I miss being able to see the Milky Way with the naked eye. Apparently, 1/3 of the world's population can't see it, either. All down to light pollution. To quote the old ARP wardens from WW2 times: "Put that light out!" (Rant over =] )
