Hello,

after many moon-sketches and planet pictures, I decided that it´s time to draw a deep-sky-object. A very interesting globular cluster ist Messier 71 in Sagitta.

It is my first globular cluster and I needed about half an hour to fix the brighter stars around the object. After this the finer stars followed in the center of M 71.

It demanded a high concentration, but I’m happy about the result.

So here is my Messier 71.

Best greetings Uwe

Hello,

I made this sketch near the center of a city, where the light pollution is medium. The sky had a little high fog, but I can see the stars very well. But my principal enemy was the small aperture of my refractor . I don’t use any light pollution filter.

My sketch was done with a pencil, on white paper and then reversed the color in GIMP software.

Hope you enjoy!

Best regards
