MW from WA Coast again, but I found something

So this is another of my beach shots. I found something that's almost unbelievable but it sure is a testament to technology...
D5200, 15 seconds, ISO 6400, f2.8, 11mm (Tokina 11-16) which is a 104 deg field of view. SOOC jpg. The box (used MS Paint) is around Lyra with Vega at the top. (edit: Not top, right. Why did it rotate when I posted it?)
The second pic is a cut and paste of the box, full size. I verified this with several charts. M57 is 8.8 mag. The two faint stars just to the left that kind of bracket it are charted at 8.

Yes, it is absolutely amazing the sensitivity of the camera and the faintness of objects it can capture.
I also see a faint galaxy near the top.

Thanks! I was just a bit south of Pacific Beach. Living in the south sound it has been soooo long since I'd seen a truly dark sky I'd forgotten what it was supposed to look like. I had to wait for the moon to set at about 2:30 before I could take these shots.

That would be Andromeda.
