Finally downloaded the UCAC3 catalogues for cartes du ciel, goes to just beyond 16th mag so should be all I need from now on. So now got 1.5 million galaxies and 100 million plus stars at my disposal, no more messing around with online applets that fail thanks to my flintstone-era computer

Well done too on the NGC 1721 group. I remember looking in on this cluster (I actually do remember looking at them) about 10 years ago with my 31cm. 'bout time I went back for another look -- nice group.
Best,

Thanks Les. Someone on another forum remarked that he needed averted vision to see the sketch.
My aim was to get the pencil shading as faint as possible within the limitations of this particular medium.
