It is my draw about Orion Nebula. Where im living the sky is difficult to see some objects because it have light pollution and others 🙂
In my Draw you can see the Orion nebula (m42) with the sky that I have.
Equipment: Telescope Hokenn 130 x 900 eye Super Plossl 25 mm
Thats´s all, thanks!
May 5, 2013 I think I had a NELM alamost 6 mag (at my home in small Twon) .. marvelous night! Amazing clarity – good transparency and windless sky, … did an atmosphere very stable,
I’ve seen the spiral arms inside the hallo surrounded the white core of Wirlpool Galaxy.
The hallo was built of black and white swirls, they where quite visible .. definitely I’ve seen a bridge between the M51 and NGC 5195 and a few stars in the background!
I recommend You to observe this object in all apertures, it is always… beautiful!
Yours Robert

Here is one sketch from my Cirrus Observation/Drawing Project!!
NGC 6992/5
16″ 136-180x with OIII und UHC
Fst: 6m5; Adelegg 1100m; Germany
Sketch with Graphit Pencill and white Paper!
I have drawing the complete object in 4 individual drawings and then i put it together in one final drawing.
Hey I send my sketch of M2. This is one of my favourite objects of this type. M2 can be found in the constellation Aquarius. I have this zodiac sign 🙂 Sketch was made during today’s observations.The dark rural skies and a good telescope nicely break the cluster into individual stars.
I used a 2B pencil and black pen.
I greet:)

Transparency was not so good. Very much light polluted area. I was impressed with the craters I could see with my 10×50 binoculars, mounted on a tripod. My first digital sketch, this is.
I got a visual observation of comet R1 (Lovejoy) this morning.
The coma was big and diffuse with a small (not stellar) false nucleus.
No tail was seen due to moonlight.
Lovejoy was easy to find in my 10 x 50 binos. Info on the sketch!
I have not seen comet Ison yet because of long periods with clouds.
I used graphite pencil on white paper and inverted in color.
I had to use 50x magn. on my telescope, higher magn. did not work much!
Location : Trondheim, Norway.
Pelayos is relatively close to Madrid , tonight stellar magnitude is 5.1 , not being the best conditions for observing deep sky objects , but incredibly the NP in this place have a brightness nearly comparable to the best skies I have seen.
The nebula is easy to locate as it is easily distinguished in the 30mm eyepiece that gives a real field 2 and 40x magnification .
With 40x appears bright , big and round. The less dense central region being surrounded by a thick contour brighter , especially in the low part, and cutting at two opposite ends , one very clearly , sounding the form of a ” horseshoe” .
With 80x lost denser areas , disappearing horseshoe shape , but gives an incredible feeling of great size, and clearly distinguish at least two starlets inside.
The design and perform observation with 40x decide better appreciation for density variations .
Indispensable observation filter and side view to appreciate the details.

Hello all,
This is my first comet observation and sketch. After waiting some days for a good weather without clouds, finally i got the comet to see. It looked like a blurry smooth ball, comparable in magnitude with the stars forming the “V” in the sketch, which have an average apparent magnitude of ±5.7 and even the sun was rising, I had an impression that the comet was showing a tail.
Im just starting a blog with my observations.
If you want to see this entry and a few others, please visit my blog in:

…comet C/2012 S1 ISON appeared glowing in the sky. Brigther after the outburst.
The tail crossed more than half of the visual field of 12×80 (4,2Âş), the nucleus was very bright, nearly stellar, and the coma had a strong greenish color. The part of the tail closest to the nucleus shone with different intensity, it was sharper on the left side and narrow near the coma.
Scketch made at La Hita´s Observatory in La Puebla de Almoradiel, Toledo (Spain).

Sketch made with graphite on white paper, looking through 12×80 binoculars.
Today the zodiacal light also looked exceptionally bright!
