I can't make any sense of it either. What's the size of the field of view? And are you sure about Altair?

Altair is not the brightest star in the night sky. That honour goes to Sirius. You'll see it rising around 10.30pm in the south-eastern sky (if you're in the US). Can't mistake it.
EDIT: Did I miss something? That link took me to a page totally unrelated to the question, so I answered the question as it stood.
OK, got it now. Why not give the link to the actual photo?
I know the constellation Aquila well, but I can't see enough of that photo at one time to tell which is Altair.
