Sketches of Jupiter from Polaris Observatory

Sketches of Jupiter - December 3, 2011
Sketches of Jupiter - December 3, 2011

Dear Asod,

I send you here a montage of many sketches of Jupiter made by a group of amateur astronomers in Polaris Observatory, Hungary, Budapest.
We have monthly tutorials for anyone who is interested and we are going through all types of objects. When it came to the planets, unfortunately the weather was awful, so we decided to make a tutorial of sketching the Jupiter from a photo done a few days before. Here we got, everyone could practice observing and sketching. Even those joined who have never sketched before, and all of them suceeded, as you can see.

The sketches were made by: Szabolcs Kiss, Attila Pilisi, Time Kovesdi Farkasne, Peter Molnar, Ervin Katona, Viktor Farkas, Tamas Jakabfi.
Media used: graphite pencils and pastel pencil used on white paper
Date & time: 3rd December 2011 (from a photo made a few days before).
Place: Polaris Observatory, Hungary, Budapest

Clear Skies,
Judit Hannak

Jupiter – December 26, 2011

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)…

Excuse for my bad English

Io Shadow Transit

Jupiter-Io Shadow Transit

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…

Dual Transit

Jupiter Europa Shadow Transit

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.

Clear skies,

Jupiter and Its Moons

Jupiter and Moons

Dear Asod,

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

Clear skies,

Jupiter Comparison

Jupiter - November 12, 2011
Jupiter - November 12, 2011

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest planet within
the Solar System. It is a gas giant with mass one-thousandth that of
the Sun but is two and a half times the mass of all the other planets
in our Solar System combined. Jupiter is classified as a gas giant
along with Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. This is my second sketch of
Jupiter and in my opinion version 2 is much better ;). I draw this
picture using graphite pencil on white sheet of paper but I inverted
it Gimp, added colors, halo etc. Because of that modifications I think
this sketch can be determinate as digital picture too. In the bottom
left corner of sketch I added real astrophoto of Jupiter to compare it
with my sketch ,visual observation.

Object: Name Jupiter

I hope you enjoy

Clear sky for all
