Wide star field challenge

Dec 4th. I took this image of the night sky looking east from central Vic while testing a new Canon Ra camera. Single shot of 24 sec x 6400 iso with 24 mm lens (no tracking). The view is of the Orion, Taurus, Canis Major area. There is some skyglow as I live in a town.
Can you identify these constellations and in particular: the Saucepan, M42, Rigel, Betelgeuse, Aldebaren, Sirius?
I can even see the red cloud of Barnard's Loop around Orion.
Can you identify anything else ? Thanks for viewing.
