Was just browsing through the pics and found you nailed the "coathanger" in the first one as well

[themos]

Yes, I spotted the "coathanger" too, it's my current favourite sight in the sky, also known as Brocchi's cluster.

So that means that the first picture contains (clockwise along the borders): Sagitta, Hercules, Ophiuchus (Rasalhague at 2 o'clock, very bright), Sagittarius (at 6 o'clock you can just see Pi, Omicron and Ksi), Capricornus (obscured by the trees), Aquarius (at 9 o'clock, behind trees), Pegasus (represented by Enif at 10 o'clock), Equuleus ( the pair to the right of Enif), Delphinus (the diamond shape at 11 o'clock). The central constellations are Aquila (with bright Altair above the centre), Scutum and Serpens Cauda.

Wow. No Scorpius though

[Vega]

Can see the Double Cluster in the 2nd too.
