This has been my hardest-to-make drawing so far (2009). I couldn't remember the whole starfield because of the huge number of equally bright - faint - stars. Therefore after some time it was pretty hard to draw. Apart from the stars that can be drawn by position, a granular glow covers the whole star cloud. The dark nebulae are very spectacular in this glow: Barnard 92 and 93 and the long hockey stick shaped nebula starting from the star in the middle. The open cluster NGC 6603 is a tiny faint granular spot - a very spectacular little gem in this huge crowd of stars. A diffuse nebula complex attracts some attention at the southern side of the field: NGC 6590 is a small round and relatively bright reflexion nebula around a star. Next to it is IC 1283-4 and Sh2-37, a somewhat bigger and fainter group of emission nebulae. There is another tiny reflexion nebula (NGC 6589) which I did not see.

The long gap in the dates of observation is partly due to my friends quitting deep-sky observation around 2003. I was drawing alone on the meadow and my mood subsided a bit as well. And then in the spring of 2009 I found again what was lost a couple of years before.
