Beautifully rendered! Even if I had looked at this without first knowing what object it was, I would have instantly recognized it. The characteristic outline of the brighter stars always evokes an image of a knight's shield. Needless to say, this is an object I come back to time and again throughout the summer.
As pointed out, this cluster is indeed visible to the unaided eye. And I find that the sky need not be superbly dark; moderately decent nights allow it to be glimpsed without optical aid.

Hello Glenn and Welcome to the sketching forum!
I'm very pleased with your kind words! Thank you very much.
I've read that you produce illustrations. Are you into sketching behind the eyepiece as well?
Clear skies,
