Initially there was cloud cover, but when it passed through the skies were wonderfully clear and transparent. M29 may not be the most challenging of objects to sketch, I thought that I would ease myself into the new season with nothing too challenging. Hope you enjoy it. -------------------- Paul Four weddings and a funeral, where's the difference?

When I try to download the larger image from Flickr it's too big and is blocked, this is the medium sized image. Thanks for your help. -------------------- Paul Four weddings and a funeral, where's the difference?

It may seem like a scrawny cluster, but I really like its structure. Files need to be less than 800x800 pixels and less than 100K. So one of those limits is what's tossing your image out. You could scale & save it to fit those numbers, or what I sometimes do--place the small image, and then provide a link to the larger one. -------------------- Orion SVP 6LT (6" f/8 Newt) || Orion XT8 (8" f/5.9 Dob) || 15x70 Oberwerk Binoculars || Coronado PST The Belt Of Venus || Sketch Gallery || Sketching Resources || Astro-Photo Gallery Post Extras:       cildarith Carpal Tunnel Reged: 08/26/04 Posts: 2357 Loc: San Diego, CA Re: Messier 29 July 25th 2009 [Re: Jeremy Perez]       #3243383 - 07/28/09 05:02 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Hi Paul, Jeremy is correct regarding the file size limits.

This is a fine open cluster in the eyepiece. Thank you for sharing it with us all.
