Solar prominences on June 11th, 2009.
Sketch and Details by Jeff Young

I observed this interesting solar prominence on the 11th of June. While most of the action was quite dim (particularly the two outer arches), there was one bright section elevated some distance off the limb which looked for all the world like fireworks going off.

White Derwent Graphitint pencil on black Strathmore Artagain paper.

Sketched from County Louth, Ireland.

As viewed through 70mm Solarscope h-alpha filter, Tele Vue Pronto, Astro-Physics Barlow, Baader MkV binoviewer and 19mm Panoptics.

Broken Cigar

M82

M82 (NGC 3034), The Cigar Galaxy
Sketch and Details by Per-Jonny Bremseth

Hey guys!

I send you “M.82, a broken cigar”.
The dark band was easy to see in my telescope and after a time
I could observe dark and lighter structures in this galaxy.
This galaxy is really a good target for amateurastronomers!

The separation between M.81 and M.82 is also a good match!!
The seeng and the transparency was very fine when the
drawing was made, and clean sky!

I use water coloured crayons on black paper only!

The observation of M.82 was from outside Trondheim, Norway.
See more info on my drawing!!
