Rolando Ligustri is the author of this image of the Lyra constellation. The brightest star up right is Vega. Vega is the second brightest star in the northern celestial hemisphere. Arcturus in Böotes is the first one.

In this widefield a very important planetary nebula can be found: M57. If you have a star chart of Lyra constellation compare it with this photography, trying to locate M57.
