Hey ASOD!
I send my first observation of a comet , Bennett 1970. This drawing is an
original one seen in 10 x 50 binos.
This early morning the sky was hazy, only the brightest stars were seen.
After some time, I could see a comet over the hills!
I used my 4″ new. refl. to observe it first. I saw fontains in the coma, but
did not manage to draw it on paper!!
Instead, I made this sketch seen in binos! Info on my sketch!
The sketch was made with pencil on white paper (inverted).
Loc..: Trondheim, Norway.
Best sky to all : Per-Jonny Bremseth.

What a bad weather! Even the “day of the night” becomes the “day of the rain”, what a season.
But here around we are not too complaining. For my cloudy friends, I made a couple of solar sketches to prove that the sun still exist !
Both sketches and zooms are done in 30 minutes, at 15:30 UT Sept. 19th and the day after, same period, with my mini-Lunt35T and SWA 10mm EP.
The prominences that rises are damn pretty and clustered around the equator as it should be at the end of a solar cycle.
I wish you all a nice and dark sky !

Hi everyone,
In a slighly cloudy evening on 18th September, searching holes through the clouds, I have been able to observe one of most famous double star Albireo or beta Cygni. The seeing was very good and giving me a stationary image.
I have wanted o make a sketch of this spectacular object and its amazing colour contrast.
I hope you like it.
Bye.
Object Name Albireo
Object Type Double star

Object Name: C/2014 E2 (Jacques)
Object Type: Comet
Location: Stokesley, North Yorkshire
Date: 23 September 2014
Media: 4H, HB, 2B and 4B pencils, blending stumps, kneadable eraser on white paper, scanned then inverted and edited using Paint Shop Pro
Telescope: 130mm Newtonian reflector, 13mm Plössl (50x / 1 degree FOV), no filter
Time: 22.41 UT – 23.44 UT
Seeing: III-II (Antoniadi scale)
Transparency: Good, LM:5.22
Notes: The comet was in the constellation of Cassiopeia. It appeared slightly elongated but I could not see a tail. The coma appeared a light green colour.

Hello!
I submit you a sketch of NGC40, which is a planetary nebula in the constellation of Cepheus. The nebula is beautiful but its understanding is a bit complicated because the details are either difficult to see or obvious but hard to localise with precision.
It took me more or less two hours to draw NGC40 with my 250mm (10 inches) dobson with a Nagler 5mm eyepiece (that gives a magnification of 250x).
I draw with graphite pencils (4B and B) on 180g white bristol, then in used Photoshop CS6 for the colors inversion and stars processing (making them perfectly round and add the colors).
Object Name: NGC40

Have a nice day and clear skies.

Object Name Crescent Nebula
Object Type Emision nebula

Media (graphite pencil)
Object Name: NGC 6995
Object Type: Supernova Remnant
Location: Morella (Spain)
Date:31/08/2014
Media: white paper, graphite pencil, 7B, HB, scanned and inverted with Paint
Equipment: Newton 8″ + plossl 25mm + OIII filter
Sky Conditions: Clear sky, no light pollution, good seeing and transparency
Notes: Without OIII filter that nebula appears as faint “cloud” at the eyepiece field but I can see some structures along the nebula. Using OIII filter the image is incredible!, I can see much more details and structures and the contrast between the sky and nebula is higher. One of my favourite objects, awesome.
Thank you.
Greetings to all the ASOD community, I share this sketch of a fascinating open cluster in the constellation Vulpecula. It is amazing the eyepiece, lots of stars of various magnitudes with asterisms of all forms in the imagination and also a double star, all accompanied by the gaseous layer that surrounds the star cluster. Very good image even at low power.
Best regards.

Here is a sketch of the Moon on the 5th of September from my backyard
in Adelaide, South Australia.
The moons phase was waxing at 83%, with only the very western edge
still in shadow. I observed with a C11 SCT. Seeing was quite
reasonable, so I took a 15mm eyepiece + 2x Barlow for a close look.
The shallow illumination on Mare Humorum made the creases on the mare
floor stand out. Crater Gassendi, toward the bottom, showed stark
shadows. Rimae Hippalus was visible, passing through the partially
submerged crater Hippalus at the top right. Because I used a diagonal
prism, the sketch is mirror imaged.
I used pastel chalks and black and white pastel pencils on black
paper.
