Sunflower Galaxy

Yesterday night the sky was so clear that I easily saw the Milky Way! I took advantage of it to collect light from the Sunflower galaxy.
I then added the 80 frames I got to the ones I took last year. In this way I obtained a total of 100 frames (1 min each) and this is the resulting combined image:

Warm night

Yesterday night at 11 pm the temperature was 30°C, so hot!
The sky was quite clear. There was a bright moon, so I decided to photograph a bright globular cluster, then I waited after the moonset at 1 am and I started to shot at the Dumbbell nebula...

New light for the Ring Nebula

Yesterday night I took one hundred shots of M57. Then I have added them to the fifty frames of last year observation, using DSS.
