These are sketches created by hand and processed with Photoshop CS after being
scanned. I use graphite pencil and colored pencil on white paper.
Naturally some of these are based on looking at astrophotography, for more details.
Here are two sketches. The one is by hand and the other after being scanned and
processed with Photoshop.
With this method, I’ve created sketches of the Sun Prominences, and other objects of
the Deep Sky..
Basic equipment used: My Telescopes, ETX-125 5″/ LX 200R 8″/ and my
PST/Coronado/SolarMax 40/TMax Filter- Double Stacked.(For the Sun Sketches)
Scanner, EPSON PERFECTION 3490 PHOTO. ToUcam PRO
II-DSI-c..and my SBIG (recently) ST-2000XM.!!

Wow, these sketches show some really great detail of the Red Planet.
I especially like the unprocessed version!
Great work!

Peter,
I really can’t make up my mine which version of the Mars sketch I like the best. I guess I need to give them both a big 10.
