I got up at 3:50 am this morning – crystal clear skies & not too cold, maybe 50 degrees, out on my deck with my 7×50 binocular. At that time the moon looked like a 25% crescent with the remaining body visible. At 4:10 it was so lovely, just a faint SW arc of light still on the moon & the shadow a dark dusty orange. The sky became dark enough to see stars around the moon – an eerie sight. At ~4:45 the eclipse appeared complete but clouds were coming in & it was even difficult to see the outline but I could still make out nearby stars. The moon just disappeared in totality and was difficult to locate without binocular aid.

Hi!
This is my sketch of the Lunar Eclipse. In Poland the initial phase and the main phase of the eclipse was impossible to observe. But we could watch the final phase of the eclipse.
This sketch shows the Moon coming out from the shadow of the Earth.

I used 8″ F5 dobson, 13 mm Vixen LVW eyepiece, and UHC-S filter.
Conditions were good, transparency was excellent , limiting magnitude
was 5.8 but seeing wasn’t that great.

It was the first and last time I observed this nebula (because I observed it early and here, in Quebec, we don’t have good sky every day !).
I was alone with the radio in a blue-berry field, at Dolbeau. I remember… I saw Sagittarius constellation I and took my ipod to see which object I could see in this region… Nebulae and nebulae it had on my app ! I decided immediately to spot one of them with my 10 inch scope.
The Lagoon Nebulae
Without OIII, I easily saw the stellar cluster (NGC 6530) and I notice some nebulosity. But when I put the OIII filter… it was outstanding ! It first look like a cat footprint… My field of view did no allow me to see the entire nebulae. I wasn’t no anything about this nebulae this night and it was the main reason I drew it: When I came home and compare my sketch with picture I was just too happy 😛

The sky was pretty clear last week. There were two nights that I was able to observe the night sky from our backyard.
I made on the second night (22-10-’11) a few allround sketches from some of my favorite objects.
Here below you’ll see three sketches I have made:
M13: Globular Starcluster in Hercules. This object was very nice visible through the telescope (130/900) and the binoculars (10×50).
M45 in Taurus. A beautiful starformation that was very impressive through the binoculars.
Aldebaran & Hyads in Taurus: Also a very nice formation. These type of objects are best visible through widefield lenses or binoculars.
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.
