Sketching on the eyepiece

Here are some new sketches that I did during my free time this week. Once again, these are open star clusters. Sadly, they seem to be the limit of my humble telescope when it comes to deep sky hunting. I tried hunting globular clusters twice but all I saw was a small round patch of light. I guess a 60mm telescope can't resolve globulars. But anyway, open clusters are fun too so I think its worth hunting anything that's available for the nights to come. The featured DSOs are the Pleiades Star Cluster and the M6 and M7 open star cluster using my custom made sketching template
