I took advantage of a surprisingly warm January night to sketch again M42 under a great winter sky. Never seen so many details before in this object, many subtle details couldn’t be represented in this sketch. The interesting thing is that the nebula formed a closed ring with a very faint arch of light reflected by the gas.

Hello,
This is the object that I like most to see. It’s beautiful, bright and easy to locate. To made this sketch, I used my Orion XT12 and an Hyperion 24mm eyepiece. No filter used.
That wasn’t the best night to observe and I live in the middle of a small town (lots of light pollution).
Hope you enjoy!
Best regards

Hi
This is a sketch of M1 the crab nebula with my 10 inch F4.5 reflector viewed with a Watec 120N+ astro camera, the resulting live view was sketched from the monitor.
The Watec literally doubles the size of your scope so my 10 inch behaves like a 20 inch or slightly larger depending on the conditions.
The view was incredibly detailed and took about an hour to draw.
Cheers

Aloha!
I submit a recent sketch from 4/14/12 of the Eta Carinae Nebula. It was not much above the horizon this night, perhaps 10 degrees. I had to sit on the ground to observe it using my 12.5” Portaball. Well worth the dirt on my bottom. A gasp was all I could manage after seeing it for the first time. The night was superb, with no wind & excellent seeing.
The nebula is massive, ~4 times larger than the Orion Nebula covering about 3 degrees of sky. It also contains Eta Carinae, one of most luminous & massive stars known. If we could put this star the same distance as our sun it would appear 5 million times brighter. It is partly obscured by gas & dust making it appear dimmer than it actually is.
