Hey
I am sending my sketch of M92
It is grateful to the object of observation. This globular cluster of stars located in the constellation Hercules, and certainly is one of my favorite subjects. In my 8 “Newtonian perfectly see individual stars of this cluster.
In the winter when it’s cold, I like to get into the warm memories of warm summer nights spent under the starry sky.
Thank you very much and best regards 🙂
Object name: M92
Object Type: Globular cluster of stars
Location: Psary in Poland
Telescope: Newton 8 “
Object Name: Planet (Venus)
Object Type: Venus in the Pleiades
Location: Bristol
Date 3rd April 2012
Media: Drawn at scope with graphite pencil on white paper then scanned and processed using CS4.
I used an 8″ SCT with a 40mm wide field of view eyepiece. Constructed the final scene via 5 eyepiece sketchs and composited them together. Scans into Photoshop and then remastered.
Weather was good.
Venus was quite dazzling and washed out many of the fainter stars in the M45 cluster, almost as if to announce that she was the real “star”! Venus itself under higher magnification revealed some dusky marks around the terminator. The phase of Venus was approximately half.
hi asod,I send this last observation of the Rosette Nebula.the sky that day was not very transparent,but after an hour of observation I could see many details and translate to paper.
the details are subtle and contrasted with this great filter.greetings and thanks

M52 (OC in Cass)
Location : Yang-Pyung, South Korea
Date : July/28/2012
Media : Black paper, White Jelly pen / Pastel
Equipment : Discovery 15″ Dob, Pentax XL 14mm, Nagler Type6 9mm
The M52 is the open cluster without the impressive feature.
It’s hard to find because the boundary is uncertain.
The central part is vacant, and there is no brightness difference of comprised stars.
What is the fascination of the m52?
The answer is in this sketch.
Object Name: M 46 / NGC 2438 / PK 231+4.1
Object Type: Open Cluster / Planetary Nebula / Planetary Nebula
Location: Scheidegg, Bavaria, Germany
Date: November 16th, 2012
Media: Graphite pencil on paper, digitally inverted
Additional information:
I am working on a personla project that involves the observation of planetary nebulae that have cosmic companions in close proximity (less than half a degree in angular distance). The sketch shows the most spectacular of that list of 14 PNs. b
I first observed NGC 2438 and PK 231+4.1 individually in 2010 from Tucson, AZ, USA. It was not until lately that I realized that both PNs as well as the biggest part of M 46 would fit in a single FOV when using low power.
On November 16th, I was able to observe that beautiful part of the sky with my 18″ Dobsonian telescope having superb conditions (fst 7m0). The sketch was made at 94x and I noted: M 46 and NGC 2438 are brilliant as usual. NGC 2438 shows a distinct ring structure and is very bright. Filters improve contrast. PK 231+4.1 is quite weak and definitely requires a filter to be seen. I first needed 226x in order to see that faint planetary nebula. Once spotted and located, it can also be seen at 94x together with the other two objects. PK 231+4.1 also shows some extent but is way smaller than NGC 2438.
Hello!
I would like to show you my latest sketch made with binoculars 10×50. On the right side are Hyades, and in the left-top part shines the Jupiter.
I used the graphite pencil on white paper. Then sketch was inverted. There are some little corrections in GIMP.
