Hi,

This is my sketch of the Cheesburger Nebula, NGC 7026, a Planetary Nebula in Cygnus. I did the sketch in my Orleans, Ontario backyard using graphite on white paper on Sept 23, 2014, a night of great seeing. It was cleaned up and inverted in Paint Shop Pro. The nebula is quite small, fairly bright with two diffuse nuclei and a hint of darkness between them. Even at 300x in my 12 inch dob I couldn’t confirm if the Cheeseburger has a pickle!

Clear skies,

Gordon
