Arp 37
Good morning all,
Arp 37 is actually better known as M77 in Cetus an object that I have sketched a number of times before, this one was deliberately just for my Arp project, lots of detail seen in this very interesting galaxy, perhaps not as much of the faint extended halo that can be seen in some CCD images as I would have liked. The sky was somewhat ‘milky’ with the SQM reading just 19.05 compared with 20.70 the previous evening, any moisture in the air causes light scatter and brings the London glow to the south, regrettably, closer to home!

C/ 2004 Q2 (Machholz)
Hey ASOD!
I send you C/ 2004 Q2 (Machholz).
This comet was a very interesting object to observe also in high
magnification, as it showed two faint jets from the false nucleus
and a great seperation between the ion- and dustail. Info on sketch.
It was also splended to observe with my 10 x 50 binos as it glided
near the Pleiade starcluster. (See my bino- sketch on ASOD- gallery)!
I used pencil on white paper (inverted).
Loc.: Trondheim, Norway.
Best wishes from Per-Jonny Bremseth.
Globular Cluster NGC 5466
Hi ASOD community, ships this globular cluster of this last observation. This provides for cluster not be brilliant, but it is very nice in a dark sky, you can solve some timid stars inside. The nucleus is large, has a lot of intensity in comparison with the rest of cluster light but does see clearly, averted vision helps to solve all these details mentioned. Even for a small scope makes a treat for your senses.
Best Regards.

The Dumbbell Nebula
Hello ASOD! I sketched this planetary nebula (also known as M27) on 11 August 2013 with my dobsonian telescope. I used also as eyepiece WA 12mm that gave me a magnification of 104x. It’ s a very big nebula; thanks to my UHC filter, I was able to observe its structure: fantastic!

Jupiter in the Constellation Gemini
Jupiter was almost directly at zenith and very bright. It was also located directly atop the star Gemini Delta. I could spot all four Galilean moons easily through my binoculars. Towards the end of this sketch, a heavy mist/fog rolled in, diffusing my view…

SN 2014J in M82
Hello,
Two and a half hours of clear sky at 04.Februar 2014 were sufficient to hold the SN in M82 and take a long walk on the winter night sky.
After a tough cloud cover and then the mist had dissolved about 21:00 clock, I could start the observation with the TMB 115/805 Apo.
The supernova was a really great thing! Very bright and striking beamed the SN in the “cigar”. After a brief enjoyment, I started with the sketch!
Unfortunately, the review was only mediocre, so blurred finer structures of the galaxy almost. Nice to see was the interruption in M 82 and south two light specks.
