Since I usually observe with the same size scope, I can appreciate how nice these sketches match the view in this size scope. I especially like the Andromeda galaxy sketch with its companions. Excellent post.

This is probably my favorite set of sketches that I've done, especially M31. I'll be visiting a darker site on the new moon weekend and try to observe and sketch M31 and the veil from there if the conditions are okay.
