This sketch of NGC6826 was done on November 23, 2019 from my backyard here in Plattsburgh, NY.
Notes from the eyepiece: This is a small planetary nebula in the constellation Cygnus. Even with high magnification it was relatively small, but the central core was very bright. Quite a few stars visible in the narrow field of view, but they were mostly dim with the brightest ones near the edges of the field of view. I cannot say with certainty that I saw he central star because the core was so bright.
