Hi friends,
I want to introduce you one more of my drawings in high polluted sky. This time is the turn for M15. Despite of the blurred view, from the center of Madrid you can distinguish several bright stars in the center with a shape that tends to be square.

Santiago,
It is a tribute to the aperture that you can even see M-15 with all that light pollution and light scatter.
Most people on earth live too close to or under light domes to even know the beauty of the night sky.
I like the sketch but not the ruined sky.
Frank 🙂
Thanks Frank, you’re right. The sky is beautiful wherever you look at it.
So do I 🙂
Santi.
