The Great Globular Cluster and a rather fuzzy Sunflower

The Great Globular Cluster in Hercules:

The images of M63 The Sunflower Galaxy was based on 90 minutes of data but for some reasons the image was very fuzzy. Some of the frames were rotated though 90 degrees so I guess the camera is doing it. I shall make  sure I turn off autorotation !

Three galaxies and a globular cluster

Here are images of the Leo Triplet (M64, M65 and NGC 3628. This is based on around 1 hour 20 mins of data, taken with a Canon 500D on a Skywatcher ED80 (my currrent setup). It was a breeze to get everything set up and calibrated and the tracking was pretty spot on until the clouds rolled in around midnight.

Earlier, while I was waiting for full darkness, I had a quick look (about 30 mins of exposures) at M3 globular cluster in Canes Venatici:
