some sketches
I've never had much skill at drawing, let alone whilst up a ladder in the dark sketching but a dim red light swinging from a finderscope and juggling my reading glasses at an eyepiece. But at last I've produced some sketches that I thought were vaguely OK. I am in fact quite happy with them, however justifiable that may be. So here are the first sketches I've ever posted.
Two are from the Feb observing challenge and two come from following up Les' article on Antlia in the current AS&T. And I have to say, this is a great bit of sky for galaxies.
The two unlabelled galaxies in the NGC 3269 field are PGC 30939 at about 6 o'clock and PGC 30905 at 2 o'clock.
The only processing has been rubbing with a piece of paper to smooth out the pencil marks and inverting colours.
Thanks for looking and any advice re sketching would be much appreciated.
