Hello
I want you to meet my sketch of M2:
Object name: Messier 2
Object Type: DS
Location: Mystków, Poland
Date: 07/18/2012
Media: pencil, white paper, eraser,
Instrumentation: GIMP 2
Observer: Cuba Warchoł (kubol0567)
Additional Information:
In the sketch, Venus is shown in the 140x magnification
Observations made with telescope Synta 6”
Weather at the time of observation: 9/10
On this evening, two days past full moon and with favorable libration on the eastern portion of the Moon, I chose two irregular maria targets for sketching. Mare Spumans was completely visible while Mare Undarum was only partly exposed beyond the terminator.
Although I have examined these little ancient “lakes” in the past this has been my first attempt to capture them on paper. Both are surrounded by bright, densely cratered upland and are close enough to Mare Crisium to be within its eject blanket and basin rings.
This is a very attractive region of the Moon for sketchers with craters Langrenus and Messier and Messier A nearby and Mare Crisium just to the north. I purposely kept these features out of my view to focus on lesser observed targets. In addition to the maria subjects, craters : Webb (22 km.), Apollonius (53 km.), and Firmicus (56 km.) provided eye catching targets across the view.
Sketching:
For this sketch I used: black Strathmore 400 Artagain paper 9″x 12″, white and black Conte’ pastel pencils and a blending stump. After scanning, Brightness was decreased just slightly using my scanner.

Date: 08-04-2012, 04:00 – 05:50 UT
Temperature: 29°C (85° F)
hazy, calm
Seeing: Antoniadi III
Colongitude 110.6 °
Lunation 16 days
Illumination: 94.9 %
Libration: in Lat. -5° 45’, in Long. +05° 38’

Yesterday, I observed / sketched the two mountains that seems to be the central peaks in the bottom of Cabeus or environs on the soutern lunar horizon.
When the moon approaches near full lunar phase, some mountains , peaks are always seen very prominently on the southern lunar limb .
And I also have a suspect that why the most advanced lunar photograpers do not attempt to capture these pretty scenes as a form of a wide magnifyed photo

Hello,
yesterday i catch the chance to draw the big crater Archimedes. Its nice shadows from the walls are fantastic. Because the weather was not the best I used only my 6mm Ortho with my TMB 115/805 for 130x. I think the sketch is quite well and shows the sight by averige conditions.
Sorry that the date on the picture is false. It was the 26.July! 😉
Object Name: Archimedes Crater
Object Type: Lunar Crater
Location: near Tauberbischofsheim Germany
Date: 26. July. 2012 21.45 p.m till 22.30 p.m
Media: graphite pencil and white Paper
NGC7027 – PK84-3.1
Object Type: Planetary Nebula
Location: Barcelona – Spain
Located in a poor stellar field, I could see NGC7027 at 235x little, homogeneous bright and with an elongated shape, almost as a rectangle. But I could not perceive any halo around the bright planetary core. With the OIII filter I could see the nebula with more contrast, but no details.
With 313x, better adapted to the dark and using averted vision, I saw with satisfaction an evanescence halo around the core, which seems to split in half, like an ?8?.
Easy planetary to detect, but difficult to see details on it.
