If those binoculars were just a bit larger we would be looking at galaxies in this field sketch too. I like the color of your frame.

This is a striking open cluster. Thank you for sharing it with us all.

Then I inverted the sketch to get the white on black. The odd but nice looking brown is the inverted color (according to photoshop elements) of the pastel blue. I thought it was so interesting, I did not mess with it. Thanks for the comments. It was a fun time.
