The Constellation of Cassiopeia taken with the Bradford Robotic Telescope, follow the link and you can see the excellent job astrometry.net did on finding all the stars (there is a nice overlay).
It even found stars that are obscured by the telescope - it uses patterns of stars to recognise parts of the sky so once it found the distinct 'w' of cas it was able to place positions for the rest. Pretty cool.
