Polar rotation on the telescopes

The tranquillity of the sky that slowly rotate in contrast with the agitation of the amatour astronomers that observe with their telescopes. The telescope on the right is of my friend Giampiero Realmuto (with a lot of red lights), the one on the ledt is mine. At the extreme left there are the lights from a car that passed during the four hours exposure.
