In summary, the conversation is about the positions of constellations in the night sky, specifically Orion and Scorpio. The speaker mentions using Stellarium to match the view of these constellations in the sky. They also mention other constellations such as Canis Major, Southern Cross, and Sagittarius, as well as the date and time of when they were observed. There is also a mention of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way, although it cannot be seen in the picture taken.

Sagittarius and Corona Australis. Scorpio's tail at lower left. 20th May 2023 5:22 am.
Somewhere in there lurks Sagittarius A - the monster black hole at the centre of the Milky Way. Obviously the pic will show no signs of that!
