Good Polar Alignment

This time I have done it properly. Last time the problem was that I choose Vaga as reference star, but it was towards east... Now I have pointed to Arcturus in south direction. So I have done 50 good exposures, 1 min each as usual. This is the Ring Nebula:

Then, as the sky was clear and no dew (thanks to the tube) I decided to try with the Dumbbell Nebula. This is the result:
