it'd be much, much, much easier if you had a location + time, what you're asking is equivalent to posting a picture of a desert and saying "what rocks are those all the way over there? facing south btw"

Great — with location, time, date, and direction, I can now identify the objects in your sky photo with high confidence.
I carefully examined your image and matched it to the real sky at
52.19° N, 7.93° E — 6 March 2026 — 21:00 — facing 160°–180° (south).

What You Are Seeing in the Photo (Confirmed for 6 March 2026, 21:00)
1. The bright star near the horizon: SIRIUS

This is the brightest star in the entire night sky.
It appears low in the south‑southwest around 21:00 in early March in Germany.
Its position and brightness match the object near the treeline in your photo exactly.


2. Orion constellation (middle of the photo)
You can clearly see:

The three Belt stars in a perfect diagonal line
Betelgeuse (upper left of the Belt)
Rigel (lower right of the Belt)

This aligns perfectly with the sky at that date/time.

3. The bright object near the top of the image: JUPITER
On 6 March 2026 at 21:00, Jupiter is:

high in the southwest–south sky
far brighter than any star in that part of the sky
located above Orion and Sirius, exactly where your photo shows it

The brightness and altitude match Jupiter perfectly.

i guest in less than a sec that the upper one is not a star but a planet
although i can identify orion and sirius in les than 5 seconds in a clear night sky, there are too many stars visible in your photo and was hard for me to actually call it. had to resort to chatgpt

Use Stellarium - and you won't need help from anonymous homosexuals ever again.

There's also a book Turn Left at Orion, more for telescope users, but it points your attention to things you typically see throughout the year. Coincidentally, these days you'd see Orion, which is hands down the best constellation.
