[Vasya Pupkin (Pupkin)]

I live in Northern Hemispere, I don't know, if you dream about our skies (because of your relationships with Milky Way, I think, no).
Nevertheless, I think, you will be interested in two objects, with which you have probles, but we don't.
These photos are bad, because they are cropped wide-field. And I live in a bad place: Moscow, large city.
