The ET or Owl Cluster
Sketch and Details by Carlos Eugenio Tapia Ayuga

Hello,

Tonight I made a drawing of the ET cluster. Is done directly in
Photoshop at 83x of magnification.

My equipment at the time of having the picture was:
– Eyepiece: Clavé Paris 12 mm
– Telescope: Vixen achromatic refractor 102/1000

Object name: OWL Cluster or ET Cluster
Object type: Open Cluster
Location: San Fernando de Henares, Spain
Date: July 31, 2009

The transparency of the night was so poor and I live in a town with
a lot of light pollution.
I draw the cluster with the laptop in my legs and drawing it
directly since I view the cluster with the telescope.

Sorry for my poor english.

Sincerely yours:

Carlos Tapia

  1. Carlos,

    This is a very nice sketch of this well known open cluster. Your format is equally impressive.

    Frank 🙂
