Hi Asod! This is my sketch of a very unusual object! A quasar, in the constellation of Virgo. It was very difficult to find it (mv=13), but I was able to read my star map. I observed the Quasar with my Dobson 10″ from San Severino Lucano (ITALY), a very dark sky.
I realized the sketch with a black ink pen on white paper, then inverted.
I hope you enjoy it!

Massimiliano,
A worthwhile target to hunt down and sketch.

Very difficult to catch indeed…
Good observation and nice sketch.

Very nice sketch! Two and a half billion light years away…
