A golden harp, a smiley, and a famous logo

NGC 1502 - The Golden Harp Cluster

I added a bit of red into the background, as this one was made from home, where the circumstances are aweful.

 

The day before, I only made a few field sketches: 

 

NGC 743 (136x)

Markarian 6 - on the edge of the Heart Nebula, its appearance rang a bell, and wondering if I should sketch it, I thought: Just do it!

Beautiful sketch, you’ve really done well at capturing great detail on NGC 1502.

Also the way you presented your sketch is lovely, the use of the red to highlight the bad seeing inspired, it really feels like looking through the ep when looking at your sketches, I look forward to enjoying more of your work ?

May I ask what software you used please.

Thank you! 

 

Software used is photoshop.

600 dpi scan to jpeg, clean background from smudges and artefacts, invert, new fill layer on top to make the black frame and text, levels adjustment for background, sometimes I dot some color in the stars if they stood out.
