open cluster NGC 581

[Norman]

Hey there,

i´d like to show my sketch of M 103, observed with my 12" Dob. I myself like this sketch very much so i´d like to share :-) I bet you would not take a look when reading about Messier 103, would you... - so the NGC-Number in the title :P

Sketch is made with pencil on white paper - photographed, inverted, and slightly processed with photoshop.
