Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning.

Took your tip Deirdre and inverted the sketch and it looks a whole lot better, I'll present future sketches in such a manner, thanks for the advice.

Paul --
Nice sketch!
It can be helpful to others if you mark two directions on your sketch (you need two to tell if the image is inverted or not due to diagonal, etc.). I simply place a N and E letter just outside the field, but there are many ways to accomplish it.
Here's an example:

Forgot to mention -- I don't mark the N and E out at the telescope.
I do the sketch at the telescope, bring it inside and then either that night or more often the next day, compare it to a planetarium program (I use AstroPlanner), mark N and E, and then scan it and invert it.
