In this image of Milky Way star clouds, so dense with faint stars that the bright stars are nearly lost, how many of the standard 57+1 navigation stars can you identify? And what is your latitude?? I have cut out the original "horizon" in the photo and also a large building, but you may assume that the horizontal edge on the left half is nearly parallel with the true horizon at this location.
It's just for fun!
