First attempt at sketching last night, not brilliant I know but not bad for a first effort. 

I actually spent quite a bit of time on Bode's as it was northerly and least area of skyglow pollution. I was definately getting hints of structure and was trying to show that in the sketch.

I have never tried pushing the magnification so much before and was really surprised as to how well it took the high magnification, usually used to use up to about a hundred.

Need to polish up my stars though, these are all stigmatised 😄

I would be very pleased if I could turn out a sketch like that😀
