Hello,
For beginners… and amateur or professional astronomers, the Hyades is an easy and amazing open cluster best viewed with 10×50 binoculars. The nigth of 5th November I enjoyed with the wide varity of spectral colors of the stars belong to this open cluster, so I used the Photohop in order to show these colors in my sketch.
Aldebaran, not a Hyades physical member, is a great esthetic plus.
For more information about the sketch you can visit my blog at:

Thank you and clear skies for all.
