Vedran,

An excellent series of observations depicting Comet Holmes,M2, M45 (Pleiades), M74, NGC 40, and NGC 6826. They are well executed. I am glad that you were able to view this interesting comet.

Carlos

Thank you Wade, Frank, Mark and Carlos. Now the Moon is coming so until December there will be no opportunity to sketch DS objects.
It's a little funny, but my friend told me that Holmes looks like condom on my sketch

It's good to see next set of your excellent sketches!

All of them are very interesting, but I like M74. There is something mysterious in the look of this galaxy on your sketch. You can feel those millions of light years between...

They are all great, Vedran. But I particularly think that M2 and M74 are stunning. They look so realistic that you'd swear you were looking through the eyepiece seeing the real thing.

Excellent job with the magnitudes for the stars, especially in M45.
