The Eskimo Neb is always fun with astro video providing a little kick to get the color. My wife and I watched and sketched Mars then went to this little beauty at high magnification. She was not well, so I pumped the video out to the living room where we watched a high res monitor for an hour and sketched. Fun time. Great object. It was an excellent night to give thanks.

The full story and sketches of both Mars and the nebula are at the ministry site on this page if you care to look: http://christworksministries.org/inspiration_color_shock

Nice sketch. Haven't viewed this one yet.

Sorry your wife is not feeling well.

Clears,
Joe
