There is a dark pipe-shaped cloud to lower right of center, it's called, well, the Pipe Nebula. It also forms the back leg of what's called the Dark Horse--its body, bent front leg and head extend to the upper right. See it? Also, the center of the Milky Way galaxy lies just to the lower left of the bowl of the Pipe, in the middle of the dark cloud.

You can tell it was shot with an iphone because apples post processing makes everything a blurry mess on a closer look

My iPhone has never, ever gotten that clear of a picture of the sky. Maybe they’re a camera settings wizard?! Lol

Not being in a city helps, taking a photo of the milky way is not that difficult.

We see the Pipe Nebula as the beak of the Kiwi, turn it 90’ to the right.
