Extreme cold killed my guide cam, so I had to resort to this!

Hi,
for those of you who don't know me, I live in Finland. We've had a long streak of cold nights lately, all below -20C. My QHY5 camera and my flat foil have had the worst from it, being now dead.

Still I could not afford to waste a cloud free night! Let's see if you can recognize the constellation I imaged. Here's some specs first:

Un-modded Canon 450D
50mm f/1.8 lens @ f/2.8
90x120" @ ISO400
30 flats and flat darks
9 darks
30 offsets
Processed with Iris and PS

Here's the full field: http://i.imgur.com/ipieY.jpg
And here's a 100% crop: http://i.imgur.com/EwA7j.jpg

I didn't manage to get rid of some more gradients and odd "stains", but all in all I'm glad the night didn't go wasted.

So, who will guess the constellation first?
