Nice shots Richard, good to see these old favourites getting their deserved attention again. Those Summer constellations are really on show during the early morning hours now aren't they, Scorpius looks great too.
Conor and I where watching Cygnus last night at 02.00 from the top of Slieve Gallion and it looked remarkable in such a clear sky at that altitude, although it felt far from Summer with bitter temps and a strong wind cutting through jeans lol.
