M33 is visible at the naked eye (Gegenshein too). In the dobson, I guess a lots of details, many HII region in 2 big spiral arms and the 3 other smaller.
It’s very wonderful, as in a spacecraft between the two galaxy.
The most important is the sky, and I think if the seeing was lower I could see more details.

Hey Artists!
I send you the Hercules globular M. 13.
This is a splended object to observe in a medium scope.
Interesting to see the north- south dark lane crossing the centralarea, which have
a foursquared look. Info on sketch.
I used pen and pencil on white paper and inverted.
Observation from Trondheim, Norway.
Best wishes from Per-Jonny Bremseth.

CONDITIONS: CLOUDLESS BUT HAZY. NELM 4.5
OBSERVER: PAUL METTAM
LOCATION: LONG EATON, ENGLAND.
TELESCOPE: 12″ SCT F10
MAGNIFICATION: X 660 !
MEDIA: GRAPHITE PENCIL, WHITE PAPER.
NGC 7027 is classed as a proto-planetary nebula: a star at the very earliest stages of forming a true planetary nebula. At a magnification of X116 this object looks like an out of focus 9th magnitude star elongated NNW-SSE and has a pale blue colour. Despite the dubious seeing conditions I cast caution to the wind and increased the magnificaton to X660 and could begin to see more detail. A dark rift seperated the nebula into two lobes, the lobe to the north appearing slightly larger and brighter. The northwest side of this lobe has a bright patch and other less certain areas of variation could be seen. As the observation progressed I thought i could see a faint outer envelope of nebulosity but this may of been due to the front lens of the telescope misting up!

The skies here in the UK have been very disappointing the last month or so. Desperate for anything, I grabbed a chance at a clear dark view last night, but had only ten minutes sketching before the clouds rolled in again. M15 is great consolation though; extensive, bright, I just love the way it tantalises you with flickers of stars at the edge of vision. Flirty. And like many great beauties, out of reach.
