Arp 37
Good morning all,
Arp 37 is actually better known as M77 in Cetus an object that I have sketched a number of times before, this one was deliberately just for my Arp project, lots of detail seen in this very interesting galaxy, perhaps not as much of the faint extended halo that can be seen in some CCD images as I would have liked. The sky was somewhat ‘milky’ with the SQM reading just 19.05 compared with 20.70 the previous evening, any moisture in the air causes light scatter and brings the London glow to the south, regrettably, closer to home!

C/ 2004 Q2 (Machholz)
Hey ASOD!
I send you C/ 2004 Q2 (Machholz).
This comet was a very interesting object to observe also in high
magnification, as it showed two faint jets from the false nucleus
and a great seperation between the ion- and dustail. Info on sketch.
It was also splended to observe with my 10 x 50 binos as it glided
near the Pleiade starcluster. (See my bino- sketch on ASOD- gallery)!
I used pencil on white paper (inverted).
Loc.: Trondheim, Norway.
Best wishes from Per-Jonny Bremseth.
Globular Cluster NGC 5466
Hi ASOD community, ships this globular cluster of this last observation. This provides for cluster not be brilliant, but it is very nice in a dark sky, you can solve some timid stars inside. The nucleus is large, has a lot of intensity in comparison with the rest of cluster light but does see clearly, averted vision helps to solve all these details mentioned. Even for a small scope makes a treat for your senses.
Best Regards.

Average seeing and transparency occurred during the entire observation time.
I was using a 6 mm eyepiece to get the magnification up to 241x.
The color version was made indoors after the graphite eyepiece sketch.
The north polar cap was small and clearly visible. Mare Acidalium appeared very dark and Niliacus Lacus appeared somewhat darker than during my observation one week ago. Sinus Meridiani, Sinus Sabaeus and Margaritifer Sinus were all clearly visible. Clouds were visible over Aeria and the parts of Syrtis Major just visible at the preceding limb. Clouds also covered Tharsis.
Equipment and Sketching:
This is an eyepiece sketch made with a HB graphite pencil, blending stumps, White Pearl eraser on white sketching paper and assorted colored pencils.
