Nebulae sketches: Box, Crescent, Bubble, M52, etc.

Hello

These are some sketches from last month's observations in Negev Desert in Israel (as usual ) ..
The conditions were not bad, though not perfect due to some dust. I was focusing mostly on nebulae (since I could use my ultrablock filter on them, which really helped).
The telescope I used was my Orion skyview pro 8" newtonian.
It was our monthly starparty, with ~10 telescopes around.

On the attached file: M52 and the bubble nebula.
To be honest I couldn't see the "bubble" itself even using a 12.5" dob with various filters. however the brightest part of the nebula was easily visible, alone with the M52 open cluster in same field of view.
