Old DSO eyepiece sketches

Here are a few OLD eyepiece sketches that I've just stumbled across while rummaging through one of my old sketch pads. Drawn on white paper but shown here in negative!

Lovely set of sketches Mike. I especially like your rendition of the Crab Nebula

Thanks! The M1 observation was a very memorable one, as at times on the border of visibility, were the veins often seen in images. It was one of those wow moments that occur now and then.

Yes I have never got a good a view as that even under dark skies in France.

Lovely Mike, have to agree with @laudropb M1 is very special.

I like m1 too, although I think m108 is my fave.
