I took this photo while camping in France last week. I couldn’t identify the bright blue-ish star at the top centre. Anyone has any idea/or other interesting finds in the photo 🙂
The photo was taken towards the east (tree-line).

Try in r/astrophotography maybe you find an answer.
I wanted to shitpost the Carl Sagan quote about the pale blue dot here but I don’t think I should ever shitpost Carl Sagan.
Vega.
