We had horrible weather during January, without any good night for serious deep sky observing.

To keep my eyes from rusting, I did a few short observing sessions with a 140mm APM refractor. One of targets was Tau Canis Majoris cluster, which is one of more visually spectacular clusters in my book. It begged to be sketched!

Vedrand this is a beautiful sketch. I love the star trains and the various asterisms, as well as the difference in magnitudes very nicely presented! Kind Regards Jon
