Here is my submission of to day: NGC 5189, one of the most structured planetary nebulae of the all sky.

The number of details is impressive in the 20” Obsession, and the pristine skies of Tivoli lodge, Kalahari desert, Namibia, during the new moon of last june.
Sketch has been made, as usual, directely on the screen of my computer, with lines of equal luminosity. From this sketch, and the detailed notes I wrote on my observing paperbook, I realised the final drawing some days after, with Paintshop Pro.

  1. Superbe Bertrand !

    J’avais déjà vu ce dessin sur ton site et il me rappelle bien ce que j’ai vu à l’oculaire. Cette NP est vraiment superbe … elle me fait penser à une galaxie spirale barrée à l’oculaire.

    Bye,

  2. Bertrand,

    Very nice capture of the details visible at the eyepiece of a fine planetary nebula.

    Frank :),
