Okay, I am going to do this again with a Google Form for a Survey to see which sketching method, digital sketching based on field sketches made in GIMP or the Mellish Method Sketches made at the eyepiece that you prefer seeing. I am going to allow for comments based on my moderation. Personal attacks will be deleted but constructive input is welcome.

 Okay, I am very tired, its 1:00 am and I have to get up in 5 hours and have had trouble sleeping for the last week so there are mistakes. Yep, messed up the count order but left it alone. Typos, sure. Oh well.

Here is the LINK to the Google Form Survey to hit which sketch you like for each object and a short answer form at the end if you wish to leave a written response on why you prefer one over the other. Not a required question though. I will moderate the answers so if any are personal attacks, they will be removed. Not asking for a critique of my sketching, I'm average at best but I want to know which method you prefer for the end product and the reasons why. Thanks!
