Can someone help me to identify this section of the night sky? I have this image from a treasure hunt, I'm fairily certain it's a real piece of the sky, but I've been unable to identify it, can anyone help?
I've just submitted a cropped section to Astrometry.net (that's astrometry, not astronomy). Click the &quot;web&quot; to upload an image and start the search, then take some time to read How (the heck) does Astrometry.net work? while waiting for it to compute...

No quick solution. That doesn't mean that this isn't real, it's just that the first attempt didn't succeed.
better luck next year!
