A serene picture indeed! I have difficulties in identifying the stars. At first I thought that the bright star in the middle must be Capella and part of Perseus standing at the top right, a familiar summer view here from Denmark. But inspection of the high resolution image (which shows a lot of stars) does not confirm this. For instance I cannot find Epsilon, Eta and Zeta Aurigae (the Kids) near "Capella". Any help?
The day of exposure is given, but not the time. I seem to have noticed that precise information is often lacking on APOD images: "some weeks ago", "recently".
