This is the constellation Orion, of which I've been trying to get a really outstanding shot for four months. I have shots of clouds, airplanes, satellites, bad focus, dewed up lens, overexposed, underexposed, banged the tripod, polar alignment off, wrong tracking speed, dead batteries in the tracker and so on...
Orion will only be visible for the next few weeks and then it will be moving behind the sun and basically not observable until September or so, it's goodby for the summer.
I was hiding the camera from the moonlight in this shot, the moon was to the upper left so the trees on the right are brighter and you can see the thin cloud going across Orion's belt, NEX-C3 6 seconds @ ISO 3200 Auto Rikenon 55mm f1.4 @ f2.8.
