There's a chance alignment of stars in the constellation Camelopardalis that seems to form a line. This asterism, known as Kemble's Cascade, is a popular and interesting target for folks who scan the sky with binoculars.
For a treat, please click on the small image you see here:

Sorry I've been out for a while! Like Robert, I really appreciate the line of stars that leads the eye throughout the entire image. I don't feel entirely qualified to critique an image like this as I have no astro photography experience, but I do feel like making those "points of interest" more obvious through a modest contrast bump might help make it more clear what the photo is about.
Superb. The little one looks great, the larger version extraordinary (as noted above).

Treat indeed when viewed in large size. I was viewing this image during the night after switching off the lights in my room & it was looking absolutely amazing.
