Nice picture, but can someone help me? The Milky Way seems strangely "upside down" to me, and I can't see all of Cassiopeia. I think I have found Gamma Cas, a nice blue and very hot star, but I don't know about Alpha and Beta Cas, Schedar and Caph.
Here is another portrait of the northern Milky Way which is similarly "upside down", and that one is annotated, too. But I still can't see the full outline of Cassiopeia in today's APOD!
Cassiopeia "upside down", looking like an M instead of a W.

Here is a picture of constellation Cassiopeia. I hope the picture isn't too large, but I fear it might be.
The stars I can't find in today's APOD are the two leftmost ones.
