A slightly different selection than the previous session. A little less touristic, but at least as much fun. Of course, I did repeat some of the highlights from last time. For example, there was some doubt about M109. However, that one remained no problem.
Below again some highlights in random order. Some sketches are a bit older, but they are all impressions observed through the telescope and exept "Tinkerbell" sketched by hand.
The first is in Lacerta and is called the Lizzard Starcluster. Magnitude 7.7 I prefer to call it Cluster within the ring, because of its shape. While sketching this cluster, I lost my way and orientation a bit due to the multitude of stars. As a result, I ran out of some space inside the cluster and filled it up at random. More a rough impression than a sketch. Cluster sketchers know this problem. It is the only sketch from yesterday.
In Delphinus there is a sweet little globular cluster,

The Hole in a Cluster in Cygnus is not unknown. Actually, there are two holes. The neighboring and coarser star cluster is called the SAO 48608 group. Magnitude 6.8
The next one in Cygnus is called the Fetus Nebula here. With a 4 inch telescope, I make no more than a "quenching torch" of this. The nebula is quite faint,the starlet quite bright. Magnitude 11.0
Last but not least is
Globular Clusters:
Open Clusters:
Roslund 5 in Cygnus, image-filling over 2.5 degrees
Tweedledee and Tweedledum in Aquila
Further NGCs in Cygnus:
7062, 7067, 7082, 6910, 6871, 6940 Mothra Cluster
Planetary nebulae:
Misscelaneous:
The familiar Veil Nebulae in the Swan, Sh2-102. With 30X magnification, a UHC filter and a 80 degree eyepiece that is a party!
I hope you enjoyed it.
