On the night of 11/28/2012 the Full Moon was shining brightly with Jupiter as its companion. The sketch was done while looking through an old (circa 1960’s) pair of Tasco 8-15×50 binoculars which I recently had refurbished. I used the binocs at 15x for the sketch which was done in Warren county NJ, USA on a laptop computer.

Hey Artists!

In this year of bright comets and while waiting for comet ISON, I will
mainly send sketches of these objects to show what can be seen in the coma!
Comet IKEYA – ZHANG was a bright and activ comet which showed interesting
structures in the coma. I observed before it was dark (twilight) to see the jets !
This comet is the same one as Hevelius observed in the year 1660.
Info on the sketch.
I used crayons (watercolor) on black paper.
Loc.: Trondheim, Norway.

Best wishes and clear sky from Per-Jonny Bremseth.
