Last new moon I tried to catch as much HII region as I can with the 27". Transparency was fairly good, Seeing unfortunately not the best. I'm sure that a few more HII region can be catch up when the Seeing is better and the observing time longer.
27", 172x-244x, Seeing III, Nelm 7m+
sketch with inverted version
Wow, now that's a great sketch and observation Uwe! It also represents much more than I've been able to see in M74 and is motivation to give it more effort next time - wonderful!
