I send you one of the northern sky beautiful GC, M. 15! I used pen (ink) for the stars on white paper and inverted.
The observation was made from outside Trondheim, Norway. I look foreward to comet Panstarrs and expecially C/ ISON which perhaps will become a comet of the historic class! Then I will make some up-to-date sketches!
Object Name : M35
Object Type : Open Cluster in Gemini
Location : But-gogae Yangdong-myeon Yangpyeong-gun Gyeonggi-do South.KOREA)
Date : 2013.2.11 Monday
Media : A4 paper, HB pencil
Equipment : 10’ dobsonian, XW 20mm
Observing conditions : A little cloudy
I could identify starchains but, could not define the NGC 2158(Probably the sky is not clear much)
Spent 1hour to sketch, 19:40 ~ 20:00
after long time I sketched a brighter m-objekt. M45 was very nice in my TMB 115/805. The refractor shows me in the wide field all the nice stars of this object.
It was very hard work at the 36mm eyepiece and I´ve got some problems to fix the distances and the ratio of the stars.
When I finished my first sketch, I forgot to transfer three stars in this picture. But now it´s done and a sketch will be a sketch, not a photo. Hope it´s o.k.
Hi, I send my sketch of NGC 6934. This is a spherical cluster of stars located in the constellation of Dolphin. Currently, the best conditions observation-object is located high in the sky. My telescope with 200mm aperture hardly ojedyncze showed barely visible stars.
Object Name: NGC 1980
Location: RA: 05h 35m 25.9s, Dec: -05 ° 54 ’35 ”
Magnitude: 2.5
Dimensions: 14′ x 14’
Constellation: Orion
Type: Open Cluster associated with nebulosity.
Observing Location: Bonilla. Cuenca. SPAIN
Date: December 9, 2012.
Time: 23:15 T.U.
Material used: Graphite pencil on white paper. Inverted image and processed with Photoshop.
Celestron Telescope S / C 8″ Mount Cgt-5
Eyepiece: Hyperion Aspheric 31 mm; Magnification: 65x.
Conditions: NEML: 6.13 (Zone 6 Peg.) Temp.: 0.4°C; Humidity 68%.
I think, the best globular cluster of the Messier catalog: relatively bright stars, large apparent diameter, and interesting visual spectacle. The stars form to long chains in it.

Object Name: Messier 35, NGC 2158
Object Type: Open Star Cluster
Location: Downey, CA, USA
Date: January 3, 2011. 23:00-0:00 PST.
Media: No. 2 pencil on White paper. Imaged and inverted on iPhone 4s. Second sketch ever.
Used: 200mm f/4 Astro-Tech Newtonian, with 24mm Explore Scientific 68-degree Argon Eyepiece, at 33.3X.
Seeing Conditions: 4 to 5 magnitude, with bright Moon. Was hoping to be able to see NGC 2158. But i guess that the Moon was a factor that night. I will try again on a moonless night and hopefully at least some fuzziness will appear for that little cluster.
Object Name: M20, Trifid Nebula
Object Type: Galactic Nebula (emission, reflection and dark components)
Obeservation Location: Roque de Los Muchachos, La Palma
Date: 2. June 2011
Media: Chalk pencil on black paper
Observer: Christian Rausch
Telescope: 12inch/F5 Dobson (Hofheim Instruments)
The Roque de los Muchachos, La Palma, is one of the best places to observe the night sky and main base of the European Northern Observatory.
It took me quite some time to get the sketch, I’ve never seen so much detail within this object before. The sky at the app. 2400m high volcano is amazing, in a few weeks I’ll return there with 2 friends.
