Another lovely sketch, I had the 18 inch on some new globular clusters for me with that scope last night, M15 and M92 were utterly unbelieveable, you would have loved drawing them I am sure.

What a superb drawing, I think I could see more but then the size of my scope is responsible for that. I love the way you get the whiter centre to the cluster, almost gives it a 3D feel, well done!
