30 second exposure looking southwest at 9 o,clock pm local time.Jupiter is at lower right with Venus just above. The Pleiades above and left. Orion is at left-center and , Sirius in the constellation Canis Major on the far left.Along with Procyon and Betelgeuse forming the "Winter Triangle".
It's amazing how many stars are visible to the camera in long exposure that are not visible to the naked eye.
