Steve,
That's an amazing image!
Ann,
the Dippers are probably the only stars combinations I can find reliably
without using any tools or references. ;-)
However, as I [re-]learned recently, the Big Dipper is not a
constellation, but an "asterism", and is a part of the constellation
Ursa Major that has several more stars:
See e.g. here:

WelL I'm glad you both had it in there... it is one of only a few
constellations I can recognize and name - along with Orion and little
dipper and Casiopia...
I miss getting out in areas where you can actually see stars in the
night sky..
