Hello, here is a drawing of the comet Lovejoy, made with my Dobsonian Telescope 12. “Also visible in 8×40 binoculars, a telescope it offered a well detailed hair, including two jets very visible and 188x core composed of two very brilliant parts (?). beautiful visitor also revealed a double pretty tail, two jets obvious.

I got a visual observation of comet R1 (Lovejoy) this morning.
The coma was big and diffuse with a small (not stellar) false nucleus.
No tail was seen due to moonlight.
Lovejoy was easy to find in my 10 x 50 binos. Info on the sketch!
I have not seen comet Ison yet because of long periods with clouds.
I used graphite pencil on white paper and inverted in color.
I had to use 50x magn. on my telescope, higher magn. did not work much!
Location : Trondheim, Norway.
Object name: C/2012 S1
Object type: Comet
Location: Bogotá, Colombia

Equipment: Celestron skymaster 15×70 Binoculars
Hello all,
This is my first comet observation and sketch. After waiting some days for a good weather without clouds, finally i got the comet to see. It looked like a blurry smooth ball, comparable in magnitude with the stars forming the “V” in the sketch, which have an average apparent magnitude of ±5.7 and even the sun was rising, I had an impression that the comet was showing a tail.
Im just starting a blog with my observations.

Hello ! Here is a drawing Ison (only unfortunately) made Friday morning between 6:15 ET 6:45 HL with my newton telescope 12″. Visible with binoculars 8×40, Ison revealed all its charm to the telescope, including its beautiful clear blue hair, as well as two fine jets in the queue that stretched over 3/4 of my ES 20mm, which provides a field of 1.36 ° and a magnification of 75x.
A real treat for the eyes! Strongly in December…

…comet C/2012 S1 ISON appeared glowing in the sky. Brigther after the outburst.
The tail crossed more than half of the visual field of 12×80 (4,2º), the nucleus was very bright, nearly stellar, and the coma had a strong greenish color. The part of the tail closest to the nucleus shone with different intensity, it was sharper on the left side and narrow near the coma.
Scketch made at La Hita´s Observatory in La Puebla de Almoradiel, Toledo (Spain).

Sketch made with graphite on white paper, looking through 12×80 binoculars.
Today the zodiacal light also looked exceptionally bright!
Mars, Jupiter and Crescent Moon – October 29, 2013
Object Name : night sky
Object Type : Planets, stars and moon
Location : Montréal, Canada
Date: October 29th 2013
Media: pastel, white and pink gel pens on black paper
Unable to sleep I decided to get up early on October 29th. It was 5:00 in the morning and the air was crisp but the sight was absolutely gorgeous. I decided to get my pastels and try my best to represent the ambiance and colors of the scenery. Mars was at the left side of a crescent moon and Jupiter hanging high at the right hand side with Castor and Pollux (Gem)
Object Name: Jupiter
Object Type: Planet
Location: Lombard, IL, USA, 41° 52′ 48″ N / 88° 0′ 28″ W

Media: Pencil
Comments: Attached is the glorious Jupiter, with its four Galilean moons, from left to right: Io, Europa, Callisto, Ganymede. Usually, Jupiter shows more details, but its way past its prime viewing conditions at Sun-Earth opposition. The sketch was done by pencil, as observed at 240x, sky around the planet turned negative after scanning. Jupiter colors were adjusted using Photoshop to resemble observable Jovian palette better.
I’m re-sending this email with appropriate subject,
Hi, I send my sketch of Saturn. The Saturn is my favorite of the planets. I live in Psary in Poland. The sketch I did on the night of 30 April to 01 May. I had a very good view of the scale of 8/10. Saturn showed a lot of detail. You could see the famous Cassini gap. The atmosphere was very calm and did not cause degradation of the image of this interesting planet.
I was using 200x magnification. My telescope is a Newton 200/1200. I used a pencil to sketch 2B and white paper. Using GIMP I added a black background, which gives a realistic picture of Saturn with a telescope. GREETS 🙂
In late June the comet Lemmon began to be visible to observers in the northern hemisphere, before, in the southern hemisphere, showed a long tail that has characterized this comet. Now we show only a beautiful fluorescent C2 gas coma (turquoise in the photos).
I could see for the first time on June 6, but it was the morning of the 14th when I made a small log with notes and drawing and its distance from the sun was 2 AU and 1.9 AU is Earth Cassiopeia was in in a very rich star field, about 2 ° of M52 and had already risen about 65 degrees above the horizon.
With 80x magnification is shown as a cloud discussion with poorly defined borders, its brightness was low, with the center a little more dense and down very gently outward. The tone of his luster was smooth and looked lively, not dull like galaxies. Its size would be around 3 ‘or 4’ relative to the eyepiece. With no colorfulness lost tail, but it was very nice “so that we can have known” before we leave this year (I think it does not return for another 10 years).
