IC2602 aka southern pleiades -I prefer not to use the pleiades connotation - i rather it has its own identity - it is worthy of being unique - terrific object i didn't get the spacing between the stars right at the bottom of the object, will try again later when it's not so windy Edited by daniel_h (03/21/09 07:42 AM) Post Extras:       Mark9473 Postmaster Reged: 07/21/05 Loc: 51°N 4°E Re: IC2602 sketch [Re: daniel_h]       #2996520 - 03/21/09 03:42 PM Attachment (29 downloads) Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Looking at how closely your sketch matches what Cartes du Ciel shows me, I'd say you did remarkably well.
