An Orion ED80 was used on an LXD75 mount, all of which were on antivibration pads in
the observatory.  The eyepiece was a Zhumell 21-7mm zoom and a WO dielectric
diagonal.

This sketch was done with Rite in the Rain paper, a number 2 and 0.3mm as well as
0.5mm mechanical pencils

  1. Erika,

    This is a cool widefield sketch of a fine galaxy in Draco. This galaxy is easy to locate and as you have shown here is perfect for a small telescope.
