Impressive sketch!

what a nice sketch! Obviously, a lot of work. The effort and patience required to evoke the image that you have of the surrounding star cloud is a little mind blowing to be honest (not to take away from what to me looks a very accurate representation of M10). I imagine your practise is a little therapeutic; every now and then I "scratch" around with ink and a nib (not astro sketching) and I expect this to be somewhat similar.

thank you, very much enjoyed.

Thanks for the kind words Phil. Yes...it is a true test of the eyes for me. I'm currently sitting in outback WA taking in a breath taking moonless dark sky. No need for scopes..bino's and eyes is enough. Here for 4 days. Sketch at night. Prospect by day.

Howdy Gabby, thanks. Yes all is well, hope everything is good with you. It's been a while, I've been missing in action a bit lately.
