Hey Stan,

Looks like the photo was taken towards the SSE.  The full moon  
illuminated the cactus above and to the east (left).

Immediately to the right of the cactus is the constellation 
Phoenix (the brightest star is Ankaa, Alpha Phoenicis).

Above the cactus is Diphda (Beta Ceti) in the constellation Cetus.
