I send my sketch of the planetary nebula M27. This is one of my favorite objects to observe the summer. Reminiscent of dumbbells for exercise. Draft reflects the view of the eyepiece PL25mm who get a 48x magnification. It also pointed star, which I took in the field of view. Before there was the effect of the white night, I decided to observe and sketch the object. Since this is a sketch object typoy summer I decided to send today to encourage all lovers of astronomy observations.
Thanks Very much:)

Note: this is a big chance to have a wonderful night with good friends and sketching dark sky after a busy week. And I had this chance… with special thanks to my dear friends.
after many moon-sketches and planet pictures, I decided that it´s time to draw a deep-sky-object. A very interesting globular cluster ist Messier 71 in Sagitta.
It is my first globular cluster and I needed about half an hour to fix the brighter stars around the object. After this the finer stars followed in the center of M 71.
It demanded a high concentration, but I’m happy about the result.
Open cluster in the constellation Auriga containing 30+ stars, 05h 28.0m, +35deg19´, 0.6´, m8.2v, distance 4500 ly
M38/NGC1912
Open cluster in the constellation Auriga containing 100+ stars, 05h 28.7m, +35deg50´, 20´, m6.4v, distance 4200 ly, calculated diameter 21 ly.
M38 is located within 2.3 degrees of M36 and was discovered by Giovanni Batista Hodierna before 1654 then independently discovered by Le Gentil in 1749. Messier later catalogued it in 1764. It’s a beautiful open cluster of approximately 100 member stars that forms almost an obtuse isosceles triangle with Elnath and Theta Aurigae. It was only after sketching this beauty that I noticed an “X” asterism within it. Turning my sketch upside down, the “cross” was very evident with a pair of stars in each arm of the cross.
I opted to use my 100 degree apparent field of view 13mm Ethos for this observation specifically so that I could include NGC1907 in the same field of view as its northern companion, M38. At 105x magnification, this small compact open cluster resembles a stellar lenticular galaxy set in the middle and slightly south of stars HIP25476 (giant at 6.5m) and HIP25733 (variable multiple star at 6.75m). There are close to 30 9th to 12th magnitude stars within it, but I could only plot around 10 within the hazy backdrop of this cluster at 105x magnification using the 6-inch RC. With more aperture and a small increase in magnification, an observer will be able to pick out close to 30 stars and star chains within this object.
Sketches created with AL template, #2 graphite pencil, loaded blending stump with charcoal, super-fine Faber-Castell Pitt artist pen “S”, 0.5mm mechanical pencil.
I used my 130 mm newtonian to sketch the well known M33, a bright member of the Local Group. I observed the galaxy for at least two hours and after that I started to draw. Due to incoming clouds I had to stop, but six days later I had the oppertunity to finish my sketch.
The transparancy was quite well, so the limiting magnitude became 6.5.
Object name: M33
Object type: Spiral galaxy
Location: Uddel, the Netherlands
Date: 13/17 October 2012
Equipment: 130 mm f/5 newtonian on EQ2 with a Baader Hyperion 8 mm.
Media: white paper, 6B, 4B, 2B pencils and a rubber.
Hello,
Sun sketch made on 18 October 2011 at 12:30–13:30UT in Bełchatów, PL with a Lunt Ls 35Tha & Baader Zoom MARK III. I used watercolor crayon on black paper (colored in GIMP).
Colors added for better effect:)
This is my first moon-sketch. Therefore i choosed a region with less details. So i picked the craters Diophantus and Delisle. The mountain crest below Delisle showed a quite interesting shadow. A nice view also offered a small crater, lying in the shadow of Diophantus.
Object Name: Diophantus and Delisle
Object Type: Lunar Crater
Location: Carinthia – Austria
Date: 3.3.2012
Media: Graphite pencil on white paper. A little bit of afterwork with Gimp2.
NGC 4565 – Galaxy of the Needle – spiral galaxy, seen in profile. Made Bonilla-Cuenca (Spain), on May 19, 2012.
Hello, for me this object is most beautiful galaxies in the sky. Their symmetry and uniform brightness I like.
Sketch done with pencil and processed with Gimp II.
Greetings to all and congratulations on the website.
