Hello everyone,
here you can see my first sketch of planet Venus. I saw there one big spot near the terminator. And other spots you can see on the picture. I used my newtonian telescope (8 inch), 8mm Hyperion and two filters. Other parameters are in the picture.
Venus
03/01/2012 _ 15.20 – 15.35 UT (Darkovicky)
N200/1200mm
8mm Hyperion + Astronomik OIII, Celestron #15
Pencil, white paper and black background (by computer)
We’ve been fortunate to have a few clear nights for observing lately. Mars season is upon us and it feels great to have a chance to try out my new filter set: Mars, 82A blue and 21 orange.
This sketch is a composite of all three filters. I started off with the Mars filter for an overall view. Syrtis Major was the first area I noticed. Next were the north polar cap and the darkened area around it. Faint structure started to appear but became even more apparent when I switched to the orange filter. Lastly was the blue filter that made the NPC and Hellas pop out dramatically. The following limb was brightened. Seeing was above average with slightly poor transparency. The session had to end because of clouds, but I felt the session was pretty much completed by that time anyway.
The sketch was created using charcoal on card stock, charcoal pencils, willow charcoal, vinyl eraser pencil and kneaded rubber eraser.
Hello to all and first of all my best wishes 2012.
I have just discovered your site and simply thank you for the division…
I subject you a drawing of Jupiter made in the evening by 26 decembre on 2011…
Object name: Jupiter 20111226 20 o’clock 39 UT
Rent: Bailly Romainvilliers France dates: 20111226
Media: pencil and graphite pastel
Duration of the drawing: 40 mn
Material(Equipment): binocular Celestron C11 – G280 to G375
Web site: www.astrophotgraphie.com
Notes: what struck me, it is first of all at the level of the SEB (left left extremity of the drawing of bottom). Many of moutonnement, very shambolic and difficult to retranscribe I did not know if it was incomplete ovals either lines overlapping by moment, that looked like a “boxing ring” (term unfit for this latitude I grant it) then, the north temperate zone passed of the color tinted in a slightly brownish color little contrasted according to the observation…
For the NEB, very honestly and even if it is little contrasted, the halving seemed to me very visible…
White spots ( more or less marked ovals) were observed in the moderated south south band (among three of which a visible very clear and well marked all around what could assimilate to a depression)…
Hello artists,allo.k. after the big dinner of this days? I started my sketch activity very good, I go to hill near my town and, with my refractor kenko 80mm 1000 of focal length, I have observed in first time Venus (very low and disturbed by turbulence), Moon and at the end Jupiter.
When i see in the scope made my shout: “Wow”!!
I see the transit of IO in front the giant and his shadow!! I’m very lucky!
I made with pen the first version of sketch, after i realized a copy with graphite pencil.
I hope to continue in this line for all 2012…
Clear sky at all
Ciao, Giorgio-
Site: Pergola (serraspinosa hill), 1 January 2012 from 5,15 p.m to 6,00 p.m.
Instrument: Refractor Kenko 80/1000
Eyepiece: 6mm lsantanium vixen
Seeing: Good,light turbulence
Temperature: No cold. light wind.
On the night of Dec. 20, 2011 I managed to catch a tansit of the Great Red Spot on Jupiter with the shadow of the moon Europa also tranisting near the GRS. The telescope used was a 120mm refractor at 125x while observing in my suburban Orleans, Ontario, Canada backyard. The sketch was done at the eyepiece and later cleaned up in Paint Shop Pro. The colour was added with coloured pencils and pasted into the reversed scan of the original sketch.
My name is Peter M Moriz. I live at Moonee Beach, Australia. I’ve just started to do sketching. This is my third sketch I’ve attempted. The other 2 were of small g/c’s…..
This sketch was done at Nana Glen west of my home town to get a little darker skies to see more of the comet’s tail. It was done naked eye and it goes from horizon to crux, say around 30 to 35 degrees. I put the milky way in the top of sketch to get some idea of how big the comet has become. The Coal Sack is there as well….it was done on the 28th of December 2011 and around 3.30am and had taken me around 45 minutes to do..I hope you enjoy the sketch–Alex, a fellow sketcher here in Australia, said I should submit it.

Hi!

Objects: Moon & Jupiter
Date: December 6, 2011

Author: Aleksander Cieśla (Wimmer)
I send you here the sketch made by my daughter, age of 6.
She likes coming out with me and watching the sunspots, the lunar craters and planets, but this was the very first time she sketched like the ‘big ones’. She has stood next to the telescope with a pencil and a notepad and examined the object very knowingly just like an adult does it. Finally she came out with this sketch, which was quite realistic. The moons are in their place and also she could see a few additional stars.
Sketch made by: Liliana Rudolf
Date: 18th December 2011
Location: Hungary, Budapest
Equipment used: 130/650 SW, 26x
Media: graphite pencil on white paper
Moon Venus conjunction 2011-11-27 – 5 PM Local Time
Object Name (Moon, Venus)
Object Type (conjunction)
Location (Rocbaron Provence France)
Date (2011-11-27 5PM Local Time)
Media (graphite pencil and watercolour)
Material (Newton telescope 114/500 25x for the moon and naked eyes)
I climbed during half an hour with a light telescope on my back to reach the St Sauveur Mountain close to Rocbaron. This is a fantastic position. I can see the Med from the Golden Islands Porqueroles and Port-Cros to the Toulon surroundings and the sunset.
After sketching the landscape with a graphite pencil, I place the Moon and Venus. Then through my telescope I sketched the new born moon.
The home work was to colour the sketch and adds Venus and the moon reduced to the correct size on my digital watercolour.
