The author sketched M1–M64 here as seen through a 16-inch f/4.5 Newtonian reflector with a 8mm Plossi eyepiece and Oxygen-III filter, for a magnification of 225x. She sketched both targets using a Gelly Roll 08 white gel pen, a white watercolor pencil, white charcoal, a No. 1 blending stump, and black Strathmore Artagain paper. She used a gel pen to draw 3.5-inch diameter sketch circles onto the paper. She removed the rough edges of the stars and added star glow in Adobe Photoshop. Sketches are rotated so that north is at the top, west is on the right.
