Whirlpool and Sunflower.

Another clear night with average transparency for my site, so I thought I'd try and sketch the Whirlpool and Sunflower as they were close to the zenith. The seeing was steady but there was some low mist and high fast moving cloud.

Very  nice drawings, Mike. You seem to be enjoying that 6” refractor!

Thanks Jeremy.  Yes, using the 6" is really quite nice and I am enjoying playing with it much more than I thought I would. Of course I still love my little Tak.

Very nice sketches as always. Very similar to how I saw them with my Dob before.

Such high quality sketches Mike, inspiring. Love the high power view with the spiral arms.

Really good. Gives new people an idea of what to expect
