Theophilus, Cyrillus and Catherina
This sketch of the trio Theophilus, Cyrillus and Catherina was done in about 15
minutes due to clouds coming in. to make the best of the limited time I tried to
focus only on the big shapes, shadows & lines. Then I worked the sketch out inside.
Below is the quick sketch done outside, and above the finished version.
Sketched on the 22th May 2007 from my home in Bornem, Belgium. I used my 8” f/5 dob
at 200x through a 5mm Baader Hyperion eyepiece.
The sketch was done on standard A4 printerpaper with pencils. I then scanned it and
adjusted the brightness/contrast levels a bit to make it stand out better.

Very nice sketch Kris.I find it is also a lesson on how to record at the eyepiece under limitations of seeing etc,then finishing the job in a more relaxed mode.Thank you
Wonderful! its really beautiful and detailed, I like the sensation of depth that it shows.
Thanks a lot!

Excellent, dramatic sketch. Now that is how to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
