Albireo is a beautiful, triple star system that consisting of Beta Cygni A – the orange, cool supergiant (in fact this is double star, but they’re too close to see it resolved. The second component is the Beta Cygni B – the Be star.
Hello
I’m a “brand new” French speaking subscriber.
I’m living near the French Riviera in Rocbaron were the sky is still very correct for observations.
I attached here four of my last sketches (Garradd comet, Uranus, Jupiter and the weak up of an eclipsed moon). [editor’s note: today we are featuring the C/2009 P1 (Garrad) sketches]
The actual ASOD web site fulfills a real interest for lot if us, observing with only eyes and hands.
Thanks to you all to help us to contribute… !

Good morning,
I send you my sketch of planetary nebula NGC 2392. I made it on last tuesday. I like planetary nebulas and this is my favourite. Sketch was made on white paper with pencil. Then I inverted in Photoshop.
Clear sky,

This is my first composite sketch of a total lunar eclipse that took place yesterday on June 15, 2011. It was the first of two such eclipses in 2011. The second will occur on December 10, 2011.
I used graphite with blender and an orange pencil colour. Sketching was done at the 40mm eyepiece using SCT 8″ f/10. Conditions were clear and seeing was 7/10.
The individual sketches were made on scanned sketches of the full moon. Scanning was done at 600 dpi and processed using GIMP. I enjoyed sketching the various phases of the eclipse especially during the fast-changing penumbral phase.
In my sketches I tried to capture the interesting tonality of the orange colour shading visible over parts of the eclipsed region of the moon.
This was a relatively rare central lunar eclipse, in which the center point of Earth’s shadow passes across the Moon. The eclipse was visible rising over South America, western Africa, and Europe, and setting over eastern Asia.

i have been observing moon and its craters many years and one of the most beautiful craters i observed is posidonius (a huge ring plain from class 3(in baldwin crater classification))).it seems like a double crater !( a crater inside a bigger crater.) with rounded and some ruined wall.
some smaller craters are around (and inside even) it . i love ! its interior cleft.i have made many sketches from it in these years and this is one f them.
