Hi Cindy
Nice shots. In the first picture of the big dipper you can see the double star Alcor and Mizar at the bend in the handle.
In the second shot you can see the double cluster in Perseus slightly up in the left of the shot and the Andromeda Galaxy fairly close to the center of the image. also appears to be some Aurora in the lower part of the picture.
Thank you so much for the info on the names of the stars and the Galaxy.....I was wondering what that was!! Yes the lights were out last night...I should have driven over to Lake McDonald to get some shots!
