Longer Exposure, Better Image

The following images are of the Ring Nebula.  The first is from 6-22-15 and the other two are from 6-19-15.  I wanted to see how increasing the exposure time affected the images.   They had a profound affect, at least to me.  The one problem is there is an increase in the noise.  Perhaps even more stacked images would fix that problem. That will be another night...
