It’s a view towards the constellation of Perseus. The Great Andromeda Galaxy is also visible as a smudge close to the top of the frame. The open cluster of the Pleiades is just above the horizon with the red California nebula close by. On the upper left of the photo you can see two red patches: the Heart and Soul nebulae. The bright star just above the horizon is Capella, the brightest star in the constellation of Auriga, the Charioteer. Green airglow is visible on an extended area of the sky.
