4 Open Clusters in One Field Of View

[gliderpilot]

I have finally completed a little observing project that I began some months ago. I noticed that, through my APM binoscope, I can get 4 open clusters in Cassiopeia in the field of view at the same time.

I started the sketch on a hazy night and then completed it on a second night before Christmas but have only just got round to scanning it in and converting to a negative view.

It's not a bad view and one to return to in the Autumn.

Clear skies,

I don't normally look at sketches an awful lot (sorry sketchers ) but I happened to venture on to this thread by chance and what a great view!

That's definitely one I will check out - I really like the way you have presented it as well with the caption underneath - I could imagine a whole book of these!

Thanks for sharing

You need to do more sketches Mark as this is excellent.

What a view!

Sketches are so much more informative to a visual observers than images - a great resources to beginners also who are wanting an indication of how things appear. Great job Mark.
