Lunar Horizon Landscape

Lunar Landscape
Lunar Landscape

The most wonderful,amazing observation experience in my whole life was this, one of my 8″ refractor observation of the lunar near-horizon landscape, ….this imagination scene.

In the 82 degree bino-eyepieces some 30-40 lines group of villages of parallel mountains or canyons was seen,

it was some resemble the villages Grand Canyon in the Arizona USA .

I was regettable could not leave some fine detailed sketchs because the sketching only one of the lines of mountains -canyons need one or two hours work and ofcourse the lunation every month disturbed adequate shadow angle plus an amater,s observing time is limited , did not show me again the unforgettable scene that night .

I hope I ,ll challenge again with my newly projected equartorial machine bigger brother of 8″ and will leave some sketchs the whole scene [landscape area 300 x 300 km ].

location; about symmetrical place of the J.Herschel crater for a criterion North Pole of moon

C/2013 R1 (Lovejoy) – November 16, 2013

Hello, here is a drawing of the comet Lovejoy, made with my Dobsonian Telescope 12. “Also visible in 8×40 binoculars, a telescope it offered a well detailed hair, including two jets very visible and 188x core composed of two very brilliant parts (?). beautiful visitor also revealed a double pretty tail, two jets obvious.

Date 22/11/2013 23:15 hs
Media graphite pencil, white paper, cotton, digital tools: Gimp (for tweaks)

It is my draw about Orion Nebula. Where im living the sky is difficult to see some objects because it have light pollution and others 🙂
In my Draw you can see the Orion nebula (m42) with the sky that I have.

May 5, 2013 I think I had a NELM alamost 6 mag (at my home in small Twon) .. marvelous night! Amazing clarity – good transparency and windless sky, … did an atmosphere very stable,

I’ve seen the spiral arms inside the hallo surrounded the white core of Wirlpool Galaxy.
The hallo was built of black and white swirls, they where quite visible .. definitely I’ve seen a bridge between the M51 and NGC 5195 and a few stars in the background!
I recommend You to observe this object in all apertures, it is always… beautiful!
Yours Robert

Hey I send my sketch of M2. This is one of my favourite objects of this type. M2 can be found in the constellation Aquarius. I have this zodiac sign 🙂 Sketch was made during today’s observations.The dark rural skies and a good telescope nicely break the cluster into individual stars.
I used a 2B pencil and black pen.
I greet:)

Object name: M2
Object type: globular cluster

Hey ASOD!

I got a visual observation of comet R1 (Lovejoy) this morning.
The coma was big and diffuse with a small (not stellar) false nucleus.
No tail was seen due to moonlight.
Lovejoy was easy to find in my 10 x 50 binos. Info on the sketch!
I have not seen comet Ison yet because of long periods with clouds.
I used graphite pencil on white paper and inverted in color.
I had to use 50x magn. on my telescope, higher magn. did not work much!
Location : Trondheim, Norway.

Helix Nebula

NGC 7293
NGC 7293

• Object Name: NGC 7293 – Helix Nebula

• Object Type: Planetary nebula (PN)

• Location: Pelayos de la Presa – Spain

• Date: nov/06/2013

• Media: Graphite Pencil HB 2, torchon 1 and 130g drawing sheet

• inverted colors with GIMP 2.8

Observation notes:

Pelayos is relatively close to Madrid , tonight stellar magnitude is 5.1 , not being the best conditions for observing deep sky objects , but incredibly the NP in this place have a brightness nearly comparable to the best skies I have seen.

The nebula is easy to locate as it is easily distinguished in the 30mm eyepiece that gives a real field 2 and 40x magnification .

With 40x appears bright , big and round. The less dense central region being surrounded by a thick contour brighter , especially in the low part, and cutting at two opposite ends , one very clearly , sounding the form of a ” horseshoe” .

With 80x lost denser areas , disappearing horseshoe shape , but gives an incredible feeling of great size, and clearly distinguish at least two starlets inside.

The design and perform observation with 40x decide better appreciation for density variations .

Indispensable observation filter and side view to appreciate the details.

New 10” dob telescope. Object Elevation +24º. Male 5,1. 14º C. Moisture 50 º/º.

The Charm of ISON

C/2012 S1 (ISON) – November 16, 2013

Hello ! Here is a drawing Ison (only unfortunately) made ​​Friday morning between 6:15 ET 6:45 HL with my newton telescope 12″. Visible with binoculars 8×40, Ison revealed all its charm to the telescope, including its beautiful clear blue hair, as well as two fine jets in the queue that stretched over 3/4 of my ES 20mm, which provides a field of 1.36 ° and a magnification of 75x.
A real treat for the eyes! Strongly in December…
