Names of stars???

[starzz]

Hello, can someone recognize these stars on attached photo? That would be just great! Just can't find them! Location: 35°42'45.45"North, 139°44'20.62"East. The direction on the photo is north.

Without a date and time you saw and noted these stars it's a bit hard to see which ones they are.

I might be wrong but the three on the left look like the "steering wheel" asterism - not sure where it is (aquarius, capricorn I would guess...?) but if you google it you should get something

no idea

Thank you for help.

The photo was made in 2006 between this months: 2006-Apr to 2006-Jun, I know without time it is difficult to find these stars, but it's all the information I have. Is there some double star (left down on the photo)?

ahem, I googled "steering wheel asterism" and lo and behold I was right . unfortunatley I couldnt post the link as it kept crashing.

google and you will find...

Well done.

thank you Doc.

I am feeling pleased with myself.

I remember it from starhopping to Neptune which was a very very long starhop given that I couldnt see many stars in my orange skies.

[Doc]

Star hopping still has it's benefits I see

Well done - I'd never heard of the "steering wheel".
