We've got a condo there where I keep a Mewlon and a SolarMax40 (although I forgot to bring any black paper for solar sketching this year). I got out 3 moonless nights this year (a record), and was quite productive. I've finished scanning and touching up the first half of my sketches, which can be seen in the Deep Sky section (link to observing report). Cheers, -- Jeff.

You always handle the the eyepiece view in a very realistic manner. Great sketches.

The globs are luminous (I really like M4) and the subtle variations of tone in the Lagoon nebulosity are very well rendered. I'm looking forward to seeing the other results of your "working vacation".

I especially like the accurate rendition of detail in the M 20 sketch.

They are all well recorded, but M4 and M8 (Lagoon Nebula) are nicely done. Thank you for sharing them with us all.
