Hello,
I recently discovered Astronomy Sketch of the Day, and since I just started sketching I wanted to share my Orion Nebula sketch.
This is M42 and M43 in the constellation of Orion.
Diffuse nebula
Sketch was done in Plattsburgh, NY
Done on February 19, 2012
Large sketch pad, 2H pencil for the stars and Charcoal 557-6B ex. soft for the nebula itself, used a smudge stick to fan out the nebula. Scanned into computer and smoothed out with Gimp to remove the paper texture and round out the stars.
Used a Celestron Omni XLT 150 Reflector with a 25mm eyepiece giving me 30x magnification.
Very clear skies, 4/5 transparency, 2/5 seeing, 30°F.

Object Name (M 42 & M 43)
Object Type (Emission and reflection nebula)
Location (BOUMEHEN – TEHRAN – IRAN)
Date (24 DECEMBER 2011)
Media (graphite pencil, white paper, belending stump)
EQUIPMENT : 10” dabsonian telescope (orion – XT10 classic)
Dear Asod,
I send you here my sketch about M42 and NGC1981.
The Orion Nebula was one of the first things I have ever sketched and observed and this is still one of my favourites. When observing it in a full view NGC1981 is visible within the same FoV, a small but nicely shaping open cluster. I thought I will leave out the FoV and just sketch as it is, so the whole drawing in length is approximately 2°.
Equipment used: 130/650 SW, 26x
Media: graphite pencil on white paper (Photoshop to invert)
Observing date: 25th January 2012, UT: 22:30
Place: Hungary, Budapest
Clear skies,

Hello.
This is my first sketch presented on ASOD.
Last night I got a clear sky and I started off by looking at one of my favorite objects: M45. The sky was very clear and I was surprised to see a small hint of nebulosity near Merope but it was really faint, almost invisible.
The Seven Sisters plus ofc Atlas and Pleione were shining with a bright light which I tried to mark on my sketch.
I used a 150/1200 Dob , 25mm Plossl Eyepiece, x48 mag (I spread the sketch in two fields, in order to get all the detail.)
Object Name : Messier 45, Pleiades
Object Type : open star cluster
Location : Marosvásárhely, Romania.
Date : 2012.01.21.
Media : graphite pencil on white paper – digitally inverted and enchanced (Autodesk SketchBook).
Clear skies,

Hallo!
This is my first sketch presented online. I’m not experienced with drawing but this is my third sketch of Orion nebula! I needed 90 minutes for the drawing and it was really cold about -6°C. The transparency was really good that evening for my observation point with a magnitude of 5m3.
I used a Newton 150/750mm with OIII-Filter. The magnification is 100* and the field of view is 0,52°.
