Hey ASOD- Friends!
I send once more one sketch of PANSTARRS.
This time in lower magn. (50x). the comet is now easier seen with naked eyes
and fine in binos as it was higher on the sky on darker sky.
The faint dust to east was interesting and the sharp edge to west.
Info on my sketch..
I used pencil on white paper and inverted in colour.
The observation was done near Trondheim, Norway.
Thank you very much on the nice comments on my sketches!!

Comet C/2011 L4 PanSTARRS
Location: Pesaro
Date: 16/03/2013, sketched from 18:50 to 19:10, local time.
Black pencil on white paper
It has been really difficult to find the comet it in the evening sky:
no stars around to use for reference and apparently invisible to naked
eye. Once found it was indeed barely visible with naked eye, not to
everyone though. I made this sketch trough the telescope, fortunately
a star was visible next to the comet trough the scope, it should be
HIP2671, according to stars visible in photographs took by friends at
the same time (this is consistent with coordinates of the comets given
by JPL Horizon’s ephemeris for that time)

Hey Artists!
I send you my observation of comet PANSTARRS from Norway.
The comet was nice (in twilight sky) in binocular and scope, but
difficult with naked eyes. Info on my sketch.
I used pencil on white paper and inverted in color.
This time I used a 8″ Dob f/ 6 .
Observation made outside Trondheim, Norway.
Clear sky to all observers.

In my opinin this object is very underestimated. Usually
astrophotographers choose it as their targets but viusual observers
don’t look at this nebula very often. And this is very bad…. because
object is really impressive. In 10-12” telescopes (or greater of
course) you can see main central helmet shaped part of nebula and
after 2-3 minutes of adaptation you can observe beautiful wings which
grows from central part. Inside helmet, around central W-R star you
can see delicate linear structures created by nebula gas.
OIII filter is necessary and it is greatly improve contrast and shows
many details of this very beutiful object.
If have an occasion try to see it. You won’t be dissapointed 🙂

This drawing I did in the terrace of my apartment one night that tube to return the field without being able to observe because of clouds and hail that fell.

It has many names “hi X Persei” , “double cluster” , NGC 884 and NGC 869, Caldwell 14 ..
In Poland we used to give a lot of funny names of astronomical objects 🙂
The Polish, word “chichoty” (in translation: “giggles”) is phonetically similar to the name (“chi ha”)
I think everyone knows it. Sometimes inexperienced obserers at the sky-party ask me what’s the white cloud in the north?. When I say “giggles” people always begin to laugh 🙂
This name usually evokes positive emotions, and sometimes “real giggling” especially in children! 🙂
NGC 884 and NGC 869,…. they are really beautiful to observe with the naked eye. Captivate to observe in the binoculars. Bat It shows the true incredible face in large aperture of telescope, under the dark sky. Beautiful, classic, clusters. I love especially the left (below), NGC 869 (in the image of Newton).
What can I say – it is a wonderful !!!
Sketch is actually a compilation of 30 minutes of staring into the clusters.
Yours Robert
