thanks Patrick. It's a truly overwhelming object though the eyepiece. I was casually trolling thru my folder and chanced upon it and was like "bloody hell I actually went thru with that?"

I want to sketch it with the 12", but even M42 looks overwhelming in the scope, let alone this 3532 bugger. Let's not even mention the Eta Carina nebula.... sketching that is my ultimate challenge!

Actually I do have a sketch of Eta Carina made with a 4.5" newt...

Also noticed I have a sketch of M42 with the 4.5" newt with the E and F stars showing...
