Hi!

The sketch was done 27 July 2006 at village Ponizovka, South Crimea (Ukraine) under very dark sky (visual limit for naked eye was better 6.1m). 10″ 1:5.6 Dob, 6 mm UWA (Synta), 230x, FOV: 20 ang. minutes, graphite pencil, white paper, then photocopy + level correction, crop and inverting in ACDSee.

Sincerely yours, Ernest Shekolyan
