M106 began the evening but I then went to NGC 4490/4485 to do a second sketch. It was clear enough to bring out a large scope, but the 8 inch does just fine with astro video to help. It was a good evening to give thanks.

Very nice! I did a lot of sketching as a prelude to getting into imaging. And I highly recomment that, because imaging is just tougher and more $$$ than people expect. I'll try to attach a couple but not sure if I know how to do that. BTW - I call this "Apostolic Astronomy!" Tom Dey
