In this shot, above the Milky Way’s core, you can see Mars, which is the brightest and largest of the three objects in the centre and a bit to the left. Saturn is below it and between them is a star called Antares (603 Light Years away). The two other bright objects in the tail of the Milky Way on the top of this photo are Hadar (double star 525 Light Years away) and Rigil Kent (double star 4.36 Light Years away).
