To looker's right, I'd guess Corona Borealis (looks like C) and Hercules, the box. Those two constellations are usually directly overhead in Colorado. Does that mean the pic is in the Southern Hemisphere? I like that Cape Town guess.FFLpilot wrote:

Here's one more image I worked on yesterday, also captured at Turquoise Lake this August (during the Perseid meteor showers). It's kind of an alternate view of our galaxy, and illustrates some of the discussion above in relation to what we see in the night sky.
If you'd like a little further background on what the image shows (and doesn't), more discussion here:
