Details:
The tail of the fish is a little to the right of the middle of the image, with the rest of the fish below and facing left, ready to snatch the bright, orangish star on the left. My wife first noticed this asterism, which is pretty pronounced, even though we found nothing about it on the internet.
Squinting may help. The main imaging challenge is not to capture too many stars, which would overwhelm the pattern, yet enough stars so that it's still impressive.
