That is a magnificent sketch Alex. It even correctly shows all the faint guide stars, which I have been using.

I tried for a bit of Tak magic on the Horsehead this morning with my 100mm fluorite. I felt close, but no cigar. It was a great morning though with the Andromeda Galaxy being visible to the naked eye. I can never see it like that in the evening, and only on some mornings. The Orion Nebula and Andromeda both looked fabulous, but the air was unsteady and Mars looked fairly ordinary.
