Mick you have produced two excellent sketches recently I only wish I had the same ability. At this rate you should be giving a tutorial at SGL5. Well done.

another great sketch mick, you know the more sketches i see the more tempting it becomes. It's like a momento of the nights events:)

Beautiful Mick, definitely on my to do list this winter.

Give it a go Matt, it's great fun and gives you something to look back on.

Another good one, now I know why I don't do sketches - TOO COLD!

I am impressed you got some nebulosity Mick.

Great sketch Mick. Could you make out the cone at all?

Great sketch Mick. Could you make out the cone at all?

I have seen the cone before when we had perfect conditions but this time the seeing was only average and I maybe saw a hint of it with averted vision but not enough to warrent me saying a definite yes.
