IC 4665 is a easy to find Open cluster in the constellation Ophiuchus.
Visually, from my light polluted backyard, it is well spread out with the brighter stars in the 7-8th magnitude, there are a sprinkling of 8th and 9th magnitude stars that fill out this cluster.
After some careful study of the field and star patterns in the cluster, I set about sketching it.
The sketch was initially done with pen on white paper. I then took a photo of the sketch and inverted it in photoshop.
After that I had some more fun with photoshop and tried to produce a digital version of the sketch with colour added to more closely match to the eyepiece view.
Hope you enjoy both.
