Hey!

I send you M.11, “Globular or open cluster?”

This cluster is very special and interesting to observe with
small telescopes. Visually it looks like a fine, open cluster, but
on photos like a globular. I really dont know its true nature.
With its two “wings” of mostly faint stars, M.11 is real nice!

The observation was made with crayons (watercolours) on
black paper only

Observing place: outside Trondheim city, Norway.
More info on my sketch!

  1. Per-Jonny,

    Impressive capture of a special star cluster. Your sketch captures the wispy appearance of the faint suns.

  2. Great sketch: I had a go at this myself earlier this autumn, and my sketch also featured two u-shaped patterns. It’s nice to see these features confirmed in other people’s work.
