Astromical observation from "Orusco de Tajuña".

oThe last Saturday to Sunday night, Gonzalo, Vicente and me (in the first picture, from right to left) were in "Orusco de Tajuña", a little town near Madrid, about 90km away from there. The night sky was wonderful, keeping in mind the distance from Madrid, so I can say that the night was very useful and funny.

The following pictures are the best ones, in raw mode yet, of that night. These photos show sky objects like M13, M31, M57, the Milky Way and Jupiter.

As I could work over this images in order to improve it, I will publish them in this entry.
