Details:
The primary summer, fall, and winter multi-constellation seasonal asterisms are on display ~3am MDT (= 3 hours before dawn starts). Around 15 minutes earlier would have netted Altair before it set. The view is standard celestial, with north up and west right.

The remaining photos, taken a few days later a bit earlier in time, show the asterisms in more detail and with less distortion. For winter's, though, I show just Orion, whose belt points to Sirius arriving at the gate between front and back yards.
