Funky Lyra
Found a free iPhone app called Starry Cam. It's very limited - 3-, 10-, or 30-second exposures, no other controls AFAIK. Anyway, I gave it a try the other morning for grins. Basically meh, but Lyra's there as is the head of Draco. I kinda like the blue background for some strange reason.

I drink tea, I read books, I look at stars when I'm not cursing clouds. It's what I do.

Re: Funky Lyra
OK, now you've got me curious... I'm gonna have to try this! That is a nice background actually; was it dark or twilight out when you did that?
All the best,

Re: Funky Lyra
It was dark, before the start of astro twilight. It was above the Chicago light dome though.
