Lovel image Roberto, I have had this on my list for some time, but always thought it needed a dark sky, so have never attempted it. 

Reading up the info on this (to present it in members images) was very interesting.

Lovely comet, Roberto!

Stunning deep-sky image also.  34 hours of total imaging time!!! I'm not familiar with those objects but they have definitely come out rather well.  Kudos!
