Dear Skycombers,
Messier 15 is a splendid globular cluster, granulation is fine when compared to
Messier 13 and Messier 5 ‘Salt rather than Sugar’. It is, I hope you agree a
beguiling spectacle, a veritable stellar cornucopia no less.
Drawn with graphite pencil on white cartridge paper and converted to negative post

Seeing Ant 11-111 transparency was good.

Beautiful sketch Dale, very rich in core detail. Salt-like it is. I was looking at it just this evening not more than a couple of hours ago.
