Orion Nebula Complex
Object name: Orion Nebula Region
Object Type: Emission Nebulae
Location: Home Driveway
Date(s): 10/8/11 (for left field), 11/23/11 (for right field)
Media: Graphite pencils (varying hardness), black gel pen, blending stumps
Additional Information:
I used my 10″ Orion Intelliscope for these depictions, which were both sketches that were originally done separately, but then later combined into one stitched field.The seeing conditions for both depictions were extremely good, as well as transparency. In the future I may also add additional fields to further-expand the view and area. The nebulae also appeared to have a bluish-greenish tint, which was added in post-processing of the scanned image. The most exciting aspect of these observations were probably the fact that I was peering right into a stellar nursery, a place that stars are beginning their lives. I kept thinking to myself, “if only I had a larger telescope…”

Hello, I really appreciate your compliment on my sketch. According to my observation log it was superb seeing for both depictions, though they were done some time apart. After I nailed the second field I began holding them together and thinking to myself, “what would they look like if I were to put them together?” And I set out after that to join them. Of course, it wasn’t done in the computer but rather by manually transferring all of the recorded details to another newly-created template for such a task.@hajuem
Thank you for the compliment!@Negar Najafi
