Everyone is extremely helpful and knowledgeable so I would appreciate hints tips and criticism my sketch of NGC 7026.
I did notice I failed to include the view finder stars.
The 16mm is Explore Scientific and the 9&6mm are Orion Expanse.
Thank you for your time
Mark.

I remember the first few times I failed to see it, I was using too low magnification.
Use a paper stump to smooth out the nebulosity. This is easier when the sketch is larger. Rounder stars, and you are good.
Jraymond & Ivan thank you for the input

Hi Mark,
sharper pencil, higher magnification and just like said - smoothen the nebulosity - severeal ways to do that. First way is not to press too strong with the pencil. rubbing out scratched lines is very difficult. Hold the pencil in a very small angle to the paper - by that you avoid scratches in nebulous parts. In case of this very object also more magnification helps - up to 400 with 12". But it is remarkabele that u already noticed the line between the two shells at 250x.
Very nice choice of object btw!
