perfect rendition of M-104! Nice drawing! 
Mark,
Thank you for that. I am in a fairly bad location for observing galaxies but the bright ones on good nights are within reach.
Frank
Very nice approach. I like this alot.
Michael,
Thank you for the nice words.
I went through your gallery and noted you have many fine photos and sketches. I especially like that pileated woodpecker shot and your nice lunar images.
Frank
