Mike,
Could you post a shot of the ADK night sky with the labeled constellations? Would be nice, a lot to learn here.

For the past year I have been posting monthly objects to look for in the night sky that provided a link to printable skymaps. If you missed the maps they can be found at this link http://www.skymaps.com/downloads.html
They release a new map every month, as the position of the constellations changes rapidly each month.
I am working on getting a nice shot of the stars over some mountains, if that’s what you’re looking for I will be sure to post it as soon as I complete the project. I’ll also be sure to show and label the constellations in the completed image. Right now rain and clouds have been holding me back.
PS – The IAU link I provided (iau.org) can provide you with all the constellations with their labels on their site, if that is more what you’re looking for.
