Another from the early hours of morning, Arp 254 a lot going on here beyond my sketch, but knowing of the interaction taking place and seeing the start of the bridge is quite an amazing thing if you think about it!
I have a little back log of sketches that I need to get out to you, I just did this one as it was a single and I wrote the blog pretty quickly!

Aloha!
I submit to you my sketch of planetary nebula NGC 6818 and the beautiful open cluster of stars that frame it, NGC 2818A, in the southern constellation Pyxis. The night was exceptionally clear & still at ~10,000 foot elevation site of Haleakala.
At the eyepiece this planetary appears as a greyish, elongate & irregular ghostly object within a lovely, but dim open cluster of 10th to 14th magnitude stars. On prolonged observation this open cluster takes on the appearance of petals of a flower with the planetary somewhat offset in the central region. The planetary nebula is best seen with averted vision and a narrow pass band filter which is helpful to better define the borders.
Though NGC 2818 & its often cited as a member of this open cluster of stars, accurate measurement of their velocities suggest this is a only chance alignment. http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap090122.html

My equipment is a Dobson 10″ with a 25mm eyepiece. The seeing and transparency is 7/10.
Sorry for my english, this is my first sketch with my new dobson. When sketching that you see, you see more details!! It’s awesome!
The name of the sketch, “The Tango” is from… this objects are very spectecular pair on the sky, and give me a “Tango” idea.
