Finally sketched NGC 7008 — the Fetus Nebula, badly

Spent two hours at the eyepiece tonight fighting the streetlights from the new development and whipping gusts, and my sketch looks like a wobbly ink blot that got left in the rain. But I saw it. That pale rounded glow with the dark notch — I could erase every stray photon and still remember exactly how it hung there. Some nights you don't photograph these things, you just sit with them until your eyes water and call it homework.
