Hi,

For the first time I send you one of my sketches. I sketched the Pipe Nebula a month ago at Hakos Guestfarm / Namibia. It’s the first finished of about 20 sketches I did during 6 nights.

Data:
Object Name: Pipe Nebula (made of lots of Barnard Dark Nebulae)
Object type: Dark Nebula
Location: Hakos Guestfarm, Namib Naukluft, Namibia
Date: June 2nd and 3rd, 2014 (two nights, about 4 hours total of sketching while nebula passed zenith)
Media: Pastel and graphite pencils
Optics: Fujinon 25×150 Binoculars

Additional aspects:
Field is about 7 degrees wide.To concentrate on object (and not on dimensions) I used a pattern of stars printed from Guide 9. Sketch is processed with Photshop to change appearance from Grey/White to Black/Grey. Pinpoint stars and Globular Clusters added by Photoshop (to replace printed and sketched stars)

Caldwell 21

Caldwell 21 (NGC 4449) is an irregular dwarf galaxy in Canes Venatici. The sketch was made from my suburban backyard just outside Ottawa, Canada on June 19, 2014 in graphite on white paper. The sketch was then scanned, cleaned up and inverted in Paintshop Pro. The view is through my 120mm f/8.3 achro refractor at 77 X. I completed the sketch using my non-dominant eye 6 days after cataract surgery. With the new lens this eye is now much sharper and brighter than my dominant eye.

Hi Asod! This is my sketch of a very unusual object! A quasar, in the constellation of Virgo. It was very difficult to find it (mv=13), but I was able to read my star map. I observed the Quasar with my Dobson 10″ from San Severino Lucano (ITALY), a very dark sky.
I realized the sketch with a black ink pen on white paper, then inverted.
I hope you enjoy it!

Hey ASOD!

This time I send the planetary nebula M. 76.
I could not see outer structures, only the wellknown inner globes.
This is a fine but fainter copy of the more famous M. 27 (Manual)!
I used pencil on white paper and inverted. Info on my sketch.
Loc.: Trondheim, Norway.

Best wishes and clear sky!!

One of our favourite cluster, M45 is a real handful of gems in the sky.
The sketch was done in two steps. I did the main draw in first night and correct some positions in the second night.

Comet P 168 Hergenrother

Comet P 168 Hergenrother – October 19, 2012

Hello friends of the dark side,

here is my second comet sketch. I drawed P 168 Hergenrother at the 19. October 2012 between 22.15 and 23.00 p.m. The brightness of the comet is near 11mag. It shows very nice in the starfield.

I used my 115/805 TMB APO with the Baader Zoom ocular (8 – 24mm) and the 22mm Nagler ocular. I know, that it is very difficult to fix the fine nuances of the comet tail with the pencil, but I don´t wipe at my sketches.

O.k. so I hope, that my result satifies you.

Clear skies, Uwe
