I wanted to include all 4 moons and a field star but I lost too much detail so I compromised with a 12mm widefield eyepiece. Graphite pencil works easier on planets than Conte' crayons. The grainy appearance doesn't look right with Jupiter's clouds. Actually your sketch seems to have more detail and is closer to the eyeball view. The seeing sure was a treat. Thank you T5.
