Franks' drawing of M-62 is very good. The asymmetrical shape is quite obvious in a 10-inch, as though M-62 was hurled through the sky like a fireworks shell. He rendered M-62's odd shape very nicely, which is thought to be caused by the enormous tidal forces the Milky Way's nuclear bulge is exerting on M-62.
