Hi Peter,
what a beautiful sketch of the Pleiades, I’d really be interested in what your conditions were, how much of the blue reflection nebula did you actually see?
How long did you observe to create this sketch?
If you’ve seen them anything near like that, you must have had very good conditions and be a very talented observer!
You definitely have my admiration!
