    The mystery star at 11:00 looks to me like eta-Pyxis or the little one next to it. I'm no astronomer, though.

    One more thing I just noticed.  The movement of the stars in the photo is
    nicely lined up with the expected rotation around the south pole as you
    would expect if you did a picture with a tripod instead of a motorized
    mount.
