That is a very interesting and striking picture.
For once, I was able to identify some of those star tracks. That's really Orion up there, pretty much dead center - well, a bit to the left. But what about that bright white, almost yellow-white streak to the upper left of Orion - is that Sirius? Colorwise, it looks more like Jupiter. Speaking about Jupiter, where is it? I can see the twins, Pollux and Castor, right of center, but Jupiter is nowhere to be seen.
I assume that the striking blue track at far left is Adhara, Epsilon Canis Majoris, a B1 or B2-type giant star.
Well, it is a fascinating picture, and I had fun trying to identify the stars!
