I found this a very satisfying subject to see from my urban location.
It took a while to sketch as I kept blinding myself every time I put pencil to paper. :-)

Nice sketch 

Wasn't it a lovely target last night?  I often view it but last night was the best ever.  Previous notes I made have said "fuzzy blob" or "more like a spinning top" but last night was "crisp and clear an just like a (B&W) photo".
