NGC 6633

This sketch was a challenge. I’ve tried to interpret the proper relative brightness of the stars but the result lacks the real shine of the main ones.

Object NGC 6633
Observed at Dunaharaszti, HU, 2025-08-19 23:20
NELM ~ 4.5
Aperture 127 mm
Magnification 48x
FOV 1.1°

This night was exceptionally clear, NELM was rather 4.7. I was experimenting with using black and blue pens for annotations and mixed up in the end.
