Early autumn is quite a nice time to observe and shoot, when it's nice and warm even at night. I photographed Weight Lifting for three nights (17th, 21st and 24th August). This is my first picture of the M27.

M27 on hieno havannoida sekä kuvaamalla, että visuaalisesti . Hyvä kuva Nostopainosumusta!
