Thanks a lot to the both of you!
I know the sketch of Lord Rosse, it's fantastic, how accurate he managed to render this galaxy and all of this with equipment, far inferior to most of the stuff we use today!
As for the patience thing: I love visual observing and working on the details - you begin with a blurry white smudge and you end up with a rich, layered and detailed galaxy, the things literally start appearing from nowhere. Time flies, when I do this, two hours feels like nothing, you only realize that you've been sitting for over two hours, when you try to get up!
