In this year’s my vacation, I stayed an observatory.
The sky was not clear, so I drunk until dawn with my friends.
AM 4:00, I lay visitor’s room, and I saw cloudy moonlight outside of the window.
It was very fantastic! I drew a picture using my smart phone immediately.

Hello,
this is my sketch of NGC 7331, the Deer Lick Group.
Drawn on 5.9.2013 at hohloh, kaltenbronn, black forest, germany.
Telescope used: 18″ at
135x for details in NGC 7331
400x for its companion galaxies.
Drawn with graphite on white paper (using tortillons, erasers)
scanned, inverted, and processed to remove “dust-stars” from scanning, darkened, and used the smudge tool
in PhotoFiltre to soften the Galaxies.
Cheerz,
Arndt
Hi, I send my sketch of Saturn. The Saturn is my favorite of the planets. I live in Psary in Poland. The sketch I did on the night of 30 April to 01 May. I had a very good view of the scale of 8/10. Saturn showed a lot of detail. You could see the famous Cassini gap. The atmosphere was very calm and did not cause degradation of the image of this interesting planet.
I was using 200x magnification. My telescope is a Newton 200/1200. I used a pencil to sketch 2B and white paper. Using GIMP I added a black background, which gives a realistic picture of Saturn with a telescope. GREETS 🙂

Spent 1 and half hour to sketch, 23:00 ~ 00:30
• Object Name: C2012 F6 Lemmon
• Object Type: Comet
• Location: Pelayos de la Presa Spain
• Date: 14/07/2013
• Media: Graphite Pencil HB 2, torchon 1 and 130g drawing sheet
• inverted colors with GIMP 2.8
In late June the comet Lemmon began to be visible to observers in the northern hemisphere, before, in the southern hemisphere, showed a long tail that has characterized this comet. Now we show only a beautiful fluorescent C2 gas coma (turquoise in the photos).
I could see for the first time on June 6, but it was the morning of the 14th when I made a small log with notes and drawing and its distance from the sun was 2 AU and 1.9 AU is Earth Cassiopeia was in in a very rich star field, about 2 ° of M52 and had already risen about 65 degrees above the horizon.
With 80x magnification is shown as a cloud discussion with poorly defined borders, its brightness was low, with the center a little more dense and down very gently outward. The tone of his luster was smooth and looked lively, not dull like galaxies. Its size would be around 3 ‘or 4’ relative to the eyepiece. With no colorfulness lost tail, but it was very nice “so that we can have known” before we leave this year (I think it does not return for another 10 years).

Aloha!
I submit to you a sketch of Jones 1 or PK104-29.1. After an evening of excellent seeing & pursuing dim & stellar planetary objects, this was a treat to finish the evening with. The sketch shows my observation using OIII & NPB filters.
Jones 1 is a 12th to 15th magnitude (depending on source referenced) ~5’ planetary nebula located in Pegasus. It appears very dim but takes on much more detail with the use of OIII or NPB filters. It appears somewhat circular with the brightest rim to the NW, however another rim of brightness appears to the SE at times. With prolonged observation there is a shimmering & shifting to the brightness within the broken ring. A few dim stars appears embedded with averted vision. My profession is in the medical field and I was struck by a first impression of a 3 dimensional corpuscle!

This is my first attempt to draw the great Andromeda galaxy. I like to end my observations by pointing to M31 and think about the long journey from his light until it reaches us.
Hi all,
On October 12th good weather allowed me to see the rare triple shadow transit on Jupiter, and in addition seeing was excellent. Callisto’s shadow was big and somewhat fuzzy, near the south pole, while Io’s and Europa’s were tiny and sharp, at both sides of the SEB. It was very interesting to see all three shadows move across the planet for one hour! The sketch corresponds approximately to the middle of the event.
