I'm quit surprised that this fine rendering is your first sketch.

Thank you, Rony. I should have been clearer. This isn't my first sketch. Far from it. I have 40 years worth of deep-sky sketches in several notebooks here in my office. By "first sketch," I meant the first time I've tried your technique of taking a pencil drawing, scanning it in, and then creating a digital rendering. I know that you discussed your method in the Binocular forum some time back, which I reread this afternoon and thought I'd give it a go. What you see here is the end result of that (2-hour) process. *Whew* I'm exhausted -- to saying nothing of being bleary-eyed playing around in Photoshop.
