Object Name: Leo Triplet (M65, M66, NGC 3628)
Object Type: Galaxies
Location: Płaza, Poland
Date: 11.03.2012
Media: graphite pencil, white paper, inverted in Photoshop CS2
In my opinion, Leo Triplet is one of the most beautiful galactic triplet on our sky. In Poland it’s a typical spring constellation. We also have Mars in it at this time.
It was my first try sketching a galaxy, but I’m pretty satisfied with my picture, so I decided to try putting it on ASOD. I hope you like it.
Aloha,
Out on my deck, too tired to set up the telescope this night, I observed with my 7×35 Nikon binocular instead.
Locating Omega Centauri amongst the trees was a treat, particularly since there was a lovely asterism of 6th & 7th magnitude stars beneath it that look like the Big Dipper with a curved tail.

Object Name: M6 Butterfly Cluster
Object Type: Open Cluster
Location: Alcala de Guadaira (Spain)
Description
M6 is an open cluster in the constellation of Scorpius. It is a young cluster formed by blue stars very near the galactic plane. The estimated distance is about 1,600 ly.
Its shape resembles a butterfly: Several bright stars form two attached rhombi, what correspond to the insect body on which you also find a delicate pattern made of weak stars. Several curved lines and double stars complete one of the most beautiful summer open cluster.

I made this sketch of M51 with a 625mm (25″) dobson in a starparty located in the Margériaz, France.
The seeing was not really good and there was a few high clouds passes during my observation.

Hi, this sketch of open cluster barnard 86 of my last observation. It is a wonderful object, we can enjoy this jewel in the night sky. That day I could enjoy a very stable sky very definition, hitting that day to draw this magnificent object. Undoubtedly one of my favorite dark nebulae. Do not fail to escape this object in your upcoming observations.
regards and good heavens.

Hello!
I’d like to submit my latest sketch for the ASOD. The Object is the Eastern Veil (NGC6922-6955 / IC1340) which I’ve observed with my 18″ f/4,45 homemade Dob. It was done at my observatory in Carù di Villa Minozzo, a small village in the Emilian Apennines of northern Italy on the evening of the 5th of July. Originally I used pencil on white paper and then elaborated it extensively on the pc to make it look as realistically as possible.
Have you ever had one of these drawings you’ve always wanted to make but never got round to it? Well, this one used to be mine. Perhaps I was afraid of the many subtleties, the complexity and the enormous amount of time involved (mostly because having to re-acclimatise my eyes to the dark after every pencil stroke). This nebula is so spectacular with the 2″ binoviewers and a couple of 82° eyepieces. It just didn’t fit in the FOV though and unfortunately I had to find a balance between the “snake’s teeth” (IC1340) and the bright NGC6992 area. It also took me quite some time indeed, but in the end I’m really pleased with the result. I hope you are too.
Kind regards,
Peter
