I can never resist sketching this fine object. the view at the EP was absolutely stunning and my meager sketch does not really do it justice. 20" F4.5 Night Sky truss dob, Mesquite Springs, Death Valley, CA NELM 7.9

One of my favorite Galaxies. I was just looking at it last Saturday night. smile
With good seeing it has some fine detail and contrast. Kind of like the Sombrero with attitude. 8)

So that's what it looks like in a 20" Wow. Not helping my aperture fever any. wink

Vincent:

Can you offer any comments on the 20" Nightsky (perhaps you have done so elsewhere?).

Very nice sketch Vincent! NGC4565 is one of my favorites galaxies like the many people here.
A friend of mine has a 20" too and we were observing M8 couple weeks ago. It looked like a cloud illuminated by an airplane, with all the seemingly 3D effect an all!

Clear Skies!
