From a picture shot from my backyard, the Summer Triangle.

From Vega, in Lyra, at the top, down to Deneb in Cygnus and then right to Altair in Aquila, the Summer Triangle is unmistakable in the Summer sky. Just look east, a bit after sunset. Vega should be near the zenith; the three stars are often the first to be visible in the night sky.

The MIlky Way flows right through the Triangle. If you have a nice dark night with clear skies, you should be able to see faint dust clouds and star fields.

With binoculars, you can scan the triangle and pick out most of its treasures.
