Great sketch Alex. Looks like you captured a fair bit of detail in the Ballsack. Also like your description of NGC 6744. From my place it has got to be the most underwhelming galaxy I've ever seen! Just a very low surface brightness cottonball. Certainly a dark sky-only object, and I'm sure it would be a lovely sight from a dark site.

NGC 6752 has got to be near the top of the list of globulars with the brightest stars! IN terms of size and overall brightness, it ranks 3rd behind Omega and 47Tuc.
