Messier 33

I used my 130 mm newtonian to sketch the well known M33, a bright member of the Local Group. I observed the galaxy for at least two hours and after that I started to draw. Due to incoming clouds I had to stop, but six days later I had the oppertunity to finish my sketch.
The transparancy was quite well, so the limiting magnitude became 6.5.

Object name: M33
Object type: Spiral galaxy
Location: Uddel, the Netherlands
Date: 13/17 October 2012
Equipment: 130 mm f/5 newtonian on EQ2 with a Baader Hyperion 8 mm.
Media: white paper, 6B, 4B, 2B pencils and a rubber.

Thanks for watching.

Best regards and clear skies!
