philjay Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 Thanks guys, I really enjoyed sketching this one because its a challenge. Its a very small cluster and the 4 main stars are surrounded by the fainter ones which are just on the edge of vision in my rig at high mag. Therefore this took a long time to sketch but it did the trick though I was pulling the fainter stuff out eventually. It teaches you to observe properly this sketching lark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Phil if I remember right one of those middle stars in the row of four is actually a double star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
