Hi Marios

Hope you don't mind but I've attached my M11 for comparison, I think we both nailed this one pretty well judging by the two bright guide stars above and to the right of the cluster.

The obvious differences in sketches are aperture, magnification and FoV. Did you try more magnification and I presume you could resolve the stars?

I actually prefer your view with less mag, you managed to pick out the dark zig zag shape within the cluster much better. I think this is another one of those objects which you can almost use too much power and aperture very easily.

Great sketch Marios, looking forward to seeing more.

Hello Charl,Orion25, Damian, Mike and thanks for the nice comments.

Mike,

thanks for the advice and I will try it to sketching again. More power and bigger F.O.V., different location.

I think I killed the duck!! :-)

All the comments are welcome and clear skies always

Very nice sketches. Both of you have shown what can be seen at the different mags and this is very useful. Thanks for posting.
