Venus – Page 5 – Astronomy Sketch of the Day

Altair83 Observers at Flassans

Object Name (form Orion to Venus)
Object Type (End winter sky)
Location (Flassans-sur-Issole Provence France)
Date (3/16/2012 )
Media (graphite pencil, watercolour, white paper, software paint.net)

During the March 16th night the Flassans-sur-Issole, a nice south France site was sketched with some observers of the Altaïr83 club. The site is mainly used for astrophotography I liked the red light effect of the atmosphere, brilliant eyes and red led. On my sketch we can see from left to right the Orion constellation, the Hyades, Pleiades and near the horizon, Venus close to Jupiter.

I made this sketch using graphite pencil, then I put the red colour effect in my workshop then I had to reverse the sky via paint.net.

Clear sky to you all

Venus – March 3, 2012

Seeing: 3/5

Venusian Vision

Object Name: Venus
Object Type: Planet
Location: Lombard, IL, USA, 41° 52′ 48″ N / 88° 0′ 28″ W
Date: 13 Mar 2012, 20:00 CDT
Media: Pencil
Comments: This is my Venusian vision, sketched using pencil, as observed through my 8″ f/5.9 dob at 240x. The picture was turned negative after scanning. Venus is a blazing sight in an eyepiece, it’s really challenging to see any surface (atmospheric) features. I think I noticed slight decrease in brightness in some regions towards terminator. Current Venusian phase is 57%.

Headed for Transit

Hey Artists!

My sketch of the planet Venus was made when the planet was on its way to transit the sun
in june 2004. Also now in 2012 we have the same situation with Venus and the “last” transit
in june. Some structures in the clouds was seen. I also used a filter this time.
More info on my sketch.
I used pen and pencil for the structures.
Location: Trondheim, Norway.

Smartphone Conjunction

Conjunction of the Moon, Jupiter and Venus, sketched from a street in Antioch, California, U. S. A.

I’ve been observing these three over the last few days, watching as Jupiter and Venus grow closer in the skies, and always enjoying the waxing moon just after it’s new. Last night, I decided to sketch the view on my phone while I waited for my bus home. There was a slightly lit tree also in my view, so I went ahead and included it for interest. 🙂
The sky was fully dark, with some thin icy wisps of cloud. Seeing was decent, aside from street lights and traffic.

Jupiter, Venus & Moon – all at once

Conjunction of Jupiter, Venus and the Moon - February 25, 2012

Hi!
I present to You quick, but interesting sketch. Today’s view of the three bright celestial objects.
Conjunction of Jupiter, Venus and the Moon.
Venus and Moon – close to each other.
Jupiter – bright object on the left at the top.

This sketch is based on observation with the naked eye. Made with pancil, then inverted and processed with GIMP2.
Greetings!

Venus – January 3, 2012

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

Venus and Two-Day Moon

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.

The full adventure is described on a small youtube animation: http://youtu.be/d8kSZefO7w0

Thanks to you all

Transit of Venus from the Temple of Apollo

Hey Artists!

It is now One year left to the last transit of Venus across the sun for this time!
It happens on the “wrong side” of the earth for us in Norway, but in northern Norway
we can see it low over horizon in the night (midnightsun).
I enjoyed the transit in 2004 in Greece. Info on my sketch! I used crayons and pencil.

Best wishes for this on “the other side”!!

Per-Jonny Bremseth.
