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.
Hello!
I present to you my latest sketch of the Jupiter.
Sketch was made by pastels on the navy blue paper and it is also some corrected with GIMP (especially the roundness of the planet).
Jupiter was observed through my SCT 5″ on December 1st, 2012.
Best regards!

Probably my best Jupiter of the season so far, a 6 hour strip map showing over half of the surface of the planet which I drew back on the night of 05-06 December 2012. I made the drawing with my 8 inch Newtonian Reflector here in Leicester, UK. I make the original drawings at the telescope in black and white and then use water colour pencils to make a colour version indoors.
Best wishes,
-Paul

Hello Stargazers,
this is the first time I send one of my sketch to you. Since the beginning of the year, it’s real terrible, cloudy weather here in Germany. One chance was on February the 10th, the sky was pretty transparent with less turbulences. The temperature was frosty, about minus six degrees Celsius. Sitting in a sheltered corner of my garden, the 12 inch dob offers me the beauty of the gas giant.

I awoke to my birthday this morning and was presented a beautiful card my 10 year old daughter Maia made for me. The Jupiter, M66 and Saturn were sketched from pictures she saw in the book “Astronomical Sketching”.
Best birthday present yet!

Object Name: Jupiter
Object Type : Transit of Io
Location: Wilp, The Netherlands
Date: November 18, 2012
Media: White paper, graphite pencil, Photoshop
Last night a nice transit of Jupiter’s moon Io was visible from Europe. The transit of Io (and its shadow) started when Jupiter was still very low in the East, but it rose very quickly. Seeing conditions improved and more details became visible. It was a very foggy evening in the Netherlands, but Jupiter just peeked through the mist. The tiny black dot of Io’s shadow was immediately visible. The moon itself became visible when it moved more to the limb of the planet (due to the edge darkening of Jupiter).
I made a small (2″ diameter), quick sketch of the view through my 16″ Dobson at 225x. I later enhanced the contrast and colorised it a bit with Photoshop, to match the actual view through the eyepiece as much as possible.
(It is one of my first sketches of Jupiter, so I sketched it a bit too small. Next time I’ll try to sketch a bigger planet, maybe 4″.)
Clear Skies,

Hello,
the last few weeks the weather was November-like: much fog and nearly no sun. But on Tuesday we´ve had very good conditions. The sky was clear and no wind. The planetary disc looks total sharp by 230x in the eye-piece. A friend tested his new camera and after this I took my sketch-book and my pencils. We used visual a bino with two 17,3mm Delos. The equipment offered us a real great view with many details on the clowd-surface of Jupiter. I hope that you like the result.
