Thanks a lot for the many positive reactions people, I really didn't consider the sketches that great, as I said, I am not an artist myself, but I guess they can really give a view of how you see things visually through the telescope.
If I have inspired people around here to bring out the pencils again, I am as happy as I can be, would be great to compare sketches of different objects!
I could post some sketches out of the can, but honestly, I'd like to draw new ones, but with the clouds rolling over the European winter skies with no improvement in sight, it's really frustrating.
I've seen the solar sketches by the way, some were done by people over at the Cloudy Nights Forum, we've discussed them there - excellent and artful sketches!
In hope of clear skies,
Sebastian
P.S. Actually, the plan was to get a 16" Dobson as next telescope, but before that, I might invest into a Richfield Reflector, as there are many good ones for reasonable prices. They're "sketching machines" par excellence and really great for bringin vast objects (North America Nebula, Veil Nebula etc.) down to paper. So expect something coming from that direction.
