Inspired by Starobserver's sketch in the Sketching forum, I decided to give this little object a go. The name says it all, it really looks like a little horse jumping. Although it is formed by fairly bright stars, it is recommended to use high magnification. It's in such an easy position, that I wonder why it is so neglected. -------------------- "At night astronomers agree." /Matthew Prior/ "Astronomers, like burglars and jazz musicians, operate best at night." /Miles Kington/ 10x50, 114x900, 300x1500 My astronomical sketches: Graphite Galaxy Don't take my words too seriously, I might be wrong.
