Re: Binocular Icon 17 : a duo of globular Clusters

Great widefield sketch Rony, congrats! Interesting that this two looks similar, but brighter and smaller in my 8x50 finder, than it is on your sketch.

Vedran: I've just sketched this duo yesterday night with my identical 12", then sat down in a chair for a little rest, and woke up today at 2am sitting in that chair. Which made me sad as I planned a globular and asteroid sketching marathon. I hope I'll have the time tomorrow to scan my sketches and post them here. By the way, this was the first time I saw this duo, so It was a nice surprise to me, that they are comparable both in size and brightness to M5 and definitely not far from M13.
