Do you recognize the constellations ?

Here a pic taken yesterday evening in an AirBNB location 20km south of Bathurst. Altocumulus clouds lighted by the Moon and stars between it. Taken with 6D + Samyang 14 squeezed to f/4, 30 seconds steady camera.
Nice photos can be taken this way.

Do you recognize stars and constellations ?

Crux is just above the clouds in the centre of the first image. In the middle is Carina and the two bright stars in the clouds at the bottom are in Centarus.

The second image I’m not quite sure of.

Nice photos, one capturing the southern vista and the other the northern vista. The constellations stand out well. You have just captured the LMC on the edge of the clouds.

The second shot is taken NNW and features Sirius the brightest star, Orion to the left in the clouds and Taurus setting further to the left of that. Always interesting when there are clouds and moonlight.
