Io Shadow Transit

Jupiter-Io Shadow Transit
Jupiter-Io Shadow Transit

Hello artists,allo.k. after the big dinner of this days? I started my sketch activity very good, I go to hill near my town and, with my refractor kenko 80mm 1000 of focal length, I have observed in first time Venus (very low and disturbed by turbulence), Moon and at the end Jupiter.
When i see in the scope made my shout: “Wow”!!
I see the transit of IO in front the giant and his shadow!! I’m very lucky!
I made with pen the first version of sketch, after i realized a copy with graphite pencil.
I hope to continue in this line for all 2012…

Clear sky at all

    Very nice work. You picked a great time to point your scope at Jupiter. I enjoy this sequence of sketches much.
    Always a pleasure to see your sketching.
