Alex what a fabulous idea to include sketches!

I'm excited!

These last few ob. challenges have been so much fun for me.

Please keep them coming. I'm enjoying the variety (imaging targets last time, sketches this time). I like your selection so far of M8 & M57. I saw M57 for the first time

about a month ago and I couldn't believe what I was seeing could be that good compared to pics! Am anxious to re-visit this again and attempt (*cough*) a shaky sketch.
Thank you so much for posting those tips on sketching - I want to learn and have been eager to get some tips as I'm clueless.
Alex & Rob- I love your sketches - you should post them to us more often. Sketches give a nice balance to the many astro pics we see here.
Also, Ditto for everything Patrick said.
