you're looking towards Cassiopeia and Andromeda. M31 is visible in
that shot too.

Thanks. The star extreme right middle is Aldeberan.

I would say that the brightest object, middle left near the top is a
planet.

I don't think there is a bright star in that region according to my map.

I don't want to sound negative but no, it's not. The star extreme
right middle is Alderamin (alpha Cephei)

That's Almach (gamma Andromedae).

Almach ;-)
