Here's a pair of star charts illustrating the sky from the local area where the charts are posted. They're taken from a photo of an outdoor public educational display. That's why they're foreshortened and appear as elliptical views of the sky.
Where? Without "internet cheating" (a direct image search or asking an A.I. tool to solve the puzzle), can you figure out the location? Cultural clues, which are present in the star charts are allowed, but the latitude side of this should be a relatively straight-forward celestial navigation problem. As for longitude, one image represents the sky at 10:00 UT on about March 7, the other about September 7, same UT.
Some of you may even have seen this display. I know of at least one NavList member who has visited this location.
