Dumbbell Nebula
Object Name: M27
Object Type: Planetary nebula
Location: Chybie, Poland
Date: 17.08.2011
Media: graphite pencil, digital tools
I used 8″ F5 dobson, 13 mm Vixen LVW eyepiece, and UHC-S filter.
Conditions were good, transparency was excellent , limiting magnitude
was 5.8 but seeing wasn’t that great.
La Lagune
Hello,
Here is a m8 sketch I made this summer.
It was the first and last time I observed this nebula (because I observed it early and here, in Quebec, we don’t have good sky every day !).
I was alone with the radio in a blue-berry field, at Dolbeau. I remember… I saw Sagittarius constellation I and took my ipod to see which object I could see in this region… Nebulae and nebulae it had on my app ! I decided immediately to spot one of them with my 10 inch scope.
The Lagoon Nebulae
Without OIII, I easily saw the stellar cluster (NGC 6530) and I notice some nebulosity. But when I put the OIII filter… it was outstanding ! It first look like a cat footprint… My field of view did no allow me to see the entire nebulae. I wasn’t no anything about this nebulae this night and it was the main reason I drew it: When I came home and compare my sketch with picture I was just too happy 😛

Rosette Nebula
“Rosette Nebula” is a large emission nebula located in Monoceros, around an open cluster NGC 2244. This is a classic star forming region, where stars from the open cluster were formed from the nebula’s material.
The cluster in the middle (NGC 2244) is very bright, and easily noticed with a naked eye under dark skies. However the nebula around it is a tougher target. It’s large, faint, and best viewed with moderate aperture and wide angle eyepieces (2.25 degrees field of view in this case). UHC filter helps a lot. The nebula has roundish structure, with diffuse and irregular edges. Under dark skies it reveals a complex structure, with a large “black hole” in middle of it, where the cluster resides. Most of it’s stars are blue or white, except the brightest yellow star on it’s edge (12 Monoceri).
At the north-east (top-right in this drawing) there is a faint, elongated open star cluster NGC 2252.

NGC 6520 and Barnard 86
Object : NGC 6520 & B86 (Ink Spot Nebula)
Object Type : Open Cluster & Dark Nebula
Location : Haleakala Summit, Maui, Hawaii
Date : 7/3/11 11:20pm
Medium : Graphite pencil on white paper
I found this object by accident while locating another object & could not take my eyes off it. The open cluster appears three dimensional next to the stark black dark nebula. I used PhotoScape to invert to black, and to sharpen up some of the stars & color the yellow star in the most western section of the drawing.
Thank you for your consideration!
