This is sketch of the Jupiter and one of his moons – Europa, which had a beautiful transit in the front of the Jupiter. I used an 8″ reflector with a 240x power. Seeing wasn’t so good as a few days ago, but it was livable and there wasn’t even one cloud on the sky. The Europa and her shadow was clearly visible, so I decided to made this sketch.

Dear ASOD,
Hereby I would like you to send a sketch I made of the Voyager Probe, which is currently in Interstellar space. The sketch isn’t realistic, but it is supposed to depict a véry far future where the probe is leaving our Local group.

The typical dumbbell shape wasn´t quite obvious for me. Well, at the east end i could catch a glimpse of some kind of a bay. I´m not really sure about the “ears”. But with peripheral vision there was a subtle glimmer.
Kind regards

While reviewing my log book I came across this sketch of the conjunction of the Moon and M44, May 10, 2008 as seen from my backyard in Orleans, Ontario, Canada at about 10:10 local time. The sketch was made with white pastel on black paper and scanned into the computer, No processing was done. The seeing was very good that evening. My log comments that at 200x in my 8″ Dob everything was very steady. I was struck by the beauty of this conjunction especially with the earthshine on the moon.
Clear skies,
Gordon
I made the sketch at the Okanagan Observatory on July 9 2011.
I used pastels on black paper along with a brush and smudging stump. The stars are a mixture of white charcoal and a white gel pen.
The sketch was done with a 15″ dob using a 20mm Nagler as well as a Lumicon UHC filter.
The SQM-L was 21.24
Thanks
