Estimating by the star chart in the Sellarium app (all errors mine), I’m guessing the bright center star is Arcturus. Left or top, regular mode. Right or bottom, night mode.
With my blessing, husband has taken over/inherited/reinherited all of the fancy photo equipment. I’m seeing what can be done with phone camera snapshots. Is it photography? Ehhh. Technically, yes. Am I in control of my tools? No. Is it amusing? Yes.
He wanted to try astrophotography. I went along to enjoy the company and to look at stars.
Onwards!
