M42, The Great Orion Nebula
Sketch and Details by Themis Karterhs (ΕΥΘΥΜΙΟΣ ΚΑΡΤΕΡΗΣ), text by Rich Handy

Greek amateur astronomer Themis Karterhs’ (ΕΥΘΥΜΙΟΣ ΚΑΡΤΕΡΗΣ) sketch is remarkable for it’s beauty, subtlety and accuracy. This intricate emission nebula is a challenging object for even the seasoned astronomical artist, so seeing it done so well as a first effort is quite wonderful.

  2. Themis,

    Fine sketch. Very good accuracy. The nebulea looks great. The pencil lines look like smoke and fog on paper. Thanks for Your work.
