This was my third sketch, the first attempt was such an enjoyable expirience that I repeated it the following nights.
Fortunately I had 3 or 4 good nights in a row.

Hi Friends,
Following with my drawings from a light-polluted place, this time I show you my own Orion Nebula (M42) version, from the center of Madrid. As you could see, the nebula becomes faintest than in a dark sky but you can still perceive the trapezium.
Siguiendo con mis dibujos en lugares contaminados lumínicamente, esta vez os envío mi versión de la nebulosa de Orion (M42) desde el centro de Madrid. Como veis se vuelve más difusa que un cielo oscuro, pero aun así es fácilmente distinguible el trapecio.

Object: IC 4756
Type: Open cluster
Date 9/16/2012
Instrument: 6″ F/5 dobsonian reflector
Sketch: Pencil on paper and then inverted after scanning into the computer.
This is a sketch of open cluster IC 4756 in Serpens made on September 16, 2012 with a 6″ F/5 dobsonian reflector. Very large cluster of stars near the pretty double Theta Serpentis. Some 30 – 50 stars were counted in the cluster which appears to have several concentrations of stars separated from one another by voids. the cluster fills the field at 75X.
Hello, here is a picture of Mars made with my Dobsonian Telescope 12 “equipped with a binocular , with a magnification of 500x. Viewing conditions were really excellent, which was rare in early spring … Many details were visible, including the famous Syrtis Major and Sinus Sabaeus visible right training up. I also observed a beautiful cloud formation on Elysium, left visible at sunset

Hey ASOD!
This time I send you the globular M. 3, a fine cluster on the northern sky.
Also in this object, I could see strings of stars. Info on my sketch.
I used graphite pencil and pen on white paper and inverted.

Best wishes and clear sky to all from Per- Jonny Bremseth.
Mars April 19 2014
Conditions were poor to average for viewing and sketching Mars. Mars is now at 15″ of arc and 0.62 A.U. from us. 99.4% of the disk is illuminated and shining at visual magnitude -1.4. The central meridian of Mars was centered at about 41.87° at the beginning time of the sketch.
Sinus Meridiani was visible near the limb on the preceding side. On this side clouds were visible over Eden. Mare Erythraeum, Margaritifer sinus and Aurorae sinus were all detectable to the south (up). Lighter Chryse could be seen at the equator with Niliacus Lacus, Mare Acidalium and Nilokeras blended together. Tharsis was under clouds on the following limb. The north polar cap is small in size and set apart by Mare Boreum.
Equipment and Sketching:
This is an eyepiece sketch made with a HB graphite pencil, blending stumps, White Pearl eraser on white sketching paper. The colorized sketch made indoors was completed using ground shavings of colored pencils (blue, orange, yellow, white)

Observation notes:
New 10” dob telescope. 80x. Object Elevation +53 º. Male 5,4. 17º C. Moisture 40 º/º.
M 67 is a good open cluster.
It is easy to see in the form 9x as a round puff, with a bright orange star in the crimped edge.
It is dominated by a bright orange star that seems to project jets of bright stars like a majestic fountain in the middle of the dark sky.
Greetings to all visitors of this page.
