The atmosphere on my loction is generally not stable in spring ,summer and I had to eyepiece- sketch fastly this crater for 1 hour before the heavy clouds came on and hid the moon.
Think about the never- changing lunar morphology always make my mind to be infatuated with humble, sad, lonely feelings.
This relatively young [ yes, … “young” ] lunar crater has a 800 million years old age. My humble heart can not accept ,perceive even the vastness of the time-span of my mother country’s 4500 years written history…. then, Ahy-, … it is like as that the repeat of merely 200,000 times mother country’s full history will reach the age of the Copernicus crater.

I made this sketch of galaxy M104 May 17 in my suburban Ottawa backyard in graphite on white paper and then inverted it in Corel Paint Shop Pro. The galaxy is not large in this eyepiece (17mm Hyperion) so there is little detail but the view is lovely.

Hi,
For the first time I send you one of my sketches. I sketched the Pipe Nebula a month ago at Hakos Guestfarm / Namibia. It’s the first finished of about 20 sketches I did during 6 nights.
Data:
Object Name: Pipe Nebula (made of lots of Barnard Dark Nebulae)
Object type: Dark Nebula
Location: Hakos Guestfarm, Namib Naukluft, Namibia
Date: June 2nd and 3rd, 2014 (two nights, about 4 hours total of sketching while nebula passed zenith)
Media: Pastel and graphite pencils
Optics: Fujinon 25×150 Binoculars
Additional aspects:
Field is about 7 degrees wide.To concentrate on object (and not on dimensions) I used a pattern of stars printed from Guide 9. Sketch is processed with Photshop to change appearance from Grey/White to Black/Grey. Pinpoint stars and Globular Clusters added by Photoshop (to replace printed and sketched stars)

Seeing many objects in an eyepiece view is my favorite things!
So, I love galaxy groups.
M84/86 group like face shape.
He has two eyes, one little nose, smiling mouth, only one eyebrow, and ear…
It is biggest face in the universe!

Caldwell 21 (NGC 4449) is an irregular dwarf galaxy in Canes Venatici. The sketch was made from my suburban backyard just outside Ottawa, Canada on June 19, 2014 in graphite on white paper. The sketch was then scanned, cleaned up and inverted in Paintshop Pro. The view is through my 120mm f/8.3 achro refractor at 77 X. I completed the sketch using my non-dominant eye 6 days after cataract surgery. With the new lens this eye is now much sharper and brighter than my dominant eye.
