Giant Colorful World of Gas

Jupiter

This sketch was done on Rite in the Rain paper with colored pencils.  I used the
edge of my eraser shield for the bands and blending was difficult with the waxy feel
of the Prang pencils.

An Orion ED80 was used on an LXD75 mount, all of which were on antivibration pads in the observatory.  The eyepiece was a Zhumell 21-7mm zoom

  1. Erika,

    This is a wonderful and colorful Jupiter sketch. Pretty much the way I remember seeing it the summer of 2007.
