You are most welcome, and you might like to try a planetarium app like Stellarium to find more.

The little cluster above that is the Pleiades, and above them, Perseus. Further in that direction you will find the “W” shaped Cassiopeia.

Yes, in your photo, the two bright stars below Jupiter are Betelgeuse and Bellatrix, the shoulders of Orion, a very distinct constellation with a belt of three bright stars further down. Above Jupiter is Auriga. The v shape to the right is the Hyades star cluster, the head of Taurus, the bull.

Cool! I haven’t seen it presented in this palette before. Brings out a lot of detail. This is how it looks to my camera in relatively natural color:

The rosette nebula, seen here as a vaguely skull shaped cloud of gas and dust in shades of red and pink, against a black background with many small stars

My understanding is that there is one on the other side, but it is obscured by the galaxy from our perspective. This one is angled towards us, the other away from us, behind the galaxy
