Object Name: M42
Object Type: Emission Nebula
Location: Mt Nerone, Italy
Date: 05/01/12
Media: pencil on white paper
I took advantage of a surprisingly warm January night to sketch again M42 under a great winter sky. Never seen so many details before in this object, many subtle details couldn’t be represented in this sketch. The interesting thing is that the nebula formed a closed ring with a very faint arch of light reflected by the gas.

Enjoyed your beautiful sketch & the details you have gotten down on paper. It is amazing what can be “seen” when we continue to observe the same object many times.
