Magnificent sketches! Nice to see what others can do with the same scope like mine. 
Just one suggestion: this is a sketching forum, so next time post your M3 photo in the imaging forum please.

Thanks Rony and Starquake.
Comet was about 20° deg above horizon at the time of sketching. We were at our dark place location with virtually no LP in south direction so that was a big help.

I couldn't resist sketching M13 so there was time left for only M12.
M10 will have to wait for another cloudless night.
Clear skies, Vedran

Vedran,
These are excellent sketches of M13 and M12. I really like how much they look like the true eyepiece views.

Vedran,
Nice to see you and more of your beautiful sketches. You did better than I resolving stars in the globular NGC 6934. The other 4 sketches are also most impressive and very realistic. Great work!

Vedran.
Your incredible journey through the heavens continues with your latest set of impressive observations. You have recorded these objects accurately and with skill. The Swan Nebula (M17) appears to be swimming in a celestial ocean. The clusters appear to be exploding. The Veil Nebula (NGC 6960) appears as a wift floating in space. NGC 7331 looks interesting and gives the impression of a "lensing galaxy." Thank you for sharing these wonderful observations with us all.
Carlos
