Hi all,
It has been quite a while, but I have been very busy the last few
months. I
took up sketching again, after reading a wonderful book about it,
Astronomical Sketching (published in the Patrick Moore's Practical
Astronomy
Series). My first results (Mars, M103 and Comet Holmes) can be found
in my
blog:
http://www.backyard-astro.com/blog
I can higly recommend this book, if you are interested in sketching
the Sun,
Moon, planets, deepsky, comets etc. I make my sketching outdoors with
a lead
pencil on white paper, The next day I make a new sketch indoors,
using black
paper and pastel pencils (very soft material).
In the next few weeks, if the weathers OK, I hope to make a few more
sketches of deepsky objects. I also have some other observing reports
ready, which I will publish in the next few weeks. So keep looking in
every
now and again.
I wish you all a merry Christmas and a healthy New Year, with lots of
clear
skies!
Math
