Everything sketched in this picture was seen looking straight to. No averted vision was needed. It was just impossible to sketch everything I saw because of the massive amount of details. A bridge between M51 and NGC 5195 was also clear and bright. Definitely the best sight through an eyepiece I have seen so far. I had the honour to be the first to sketch with 91cm Astrofox telescope in Artjarvi observatories.
