Unable to sleep I decided to get up early on October 29th. It was 5:00 in the morning and the air was crisp but the sight was absolutely gorgeous. I decided to get my pastels and try my best to represent the ambiance and colors of the scenery. Mars was at the left side of a crescent moon and Jupiter hanging high at the right hand side with Castor and Pollux (Gem)

Hello friends of the stars,
on 15th August, I decided to make a lunar crater drawing. It was the first in 2013. I was even a little scared and realized when making the drawing, that it was not so easy on the hand. The edge areas also act somewhat coarser than usual, but overall I was pleased with the “Parry”. I noticed this crater is, as it almost appeared hexagonal or honeycomb.
The air was in the low-lying moon of course not the best.

Hello artists
Just a few hours after the great sketch of Stratos Tsanaktsidis, I had the opportunity to draw this one. I use a common H alpha PST Coronado.
My technique is quite original, after a light circle portion made by a graphite pencil on white paper I use directly a pure watercolour “green emerald” to sketch the solar surface on a water base and then the protuberances on the dry part of the sky, taking into account that light green will become dark red and vice-versa. Then I just have to invert the colours after scanning. The white sky is becoming black while the green part is becoming “H alpha red”.
Right, I add the approximate dimension of the earth and the moon orbit.
Clear sky to you all

Comments: Attached is the glorious Jupiter, with its four Galilean moons, from left to right: Io, Europa, Callisto, Ganymede. Usually, Jupiter shows more details, but its way past its prime viewing conditions at Sun-Earth opposition. The sketch was done by pencil, as observed at 240x, sky around the planet turned negative after scanning. Jupiter colors were adjusted using Photoshop to resemble observable Jovian palette better.
I’m re-sending this email with appropriate subject,

Hello,
this is my sketch of NGC 7331, the Deer Lick Group.
Drawn on 5.9.2013 at hohloh, kaltenbronn, black forest, germany.
Telescope used: 18″ at
135x for details in NGC 7331
400x for its companion galaxies.
Drawn with graphite on white paper (using tortillons, erasers)
scanned, inverted, and processed to remove “dust-stars” from scanning, darkened, and used the smudge tool
in PhotoFiltre to soften the Galaxies.
Cheerz,
Arndt
Hi, I send my sketch of Saturn. The Saturn is my favorite of the planets. I live in Psary in Poland. The sketch I did on the night of 30 April to 01 May. I had a very good view of the scale of 8/10. Saturn showed a lot of detail. You could see the famous Cassini gap. The atmosphere was very calm and did not cause degradation of the image of this interesting planet.
I was using 200x magnification. My telescope is a Newton 200/1200. I used a pencil to sketch 2B and white paper. Using GIMP I added a black background, which gives a realistic picture of Saturn with a telescope. GREETS 🙂
