Lovely sketch, as always, Alexander. Very impressive observing from Sydney skies. It must be quite a challenge.
Here are my sketches of a couple of the October challenge objects - the Grus trio and Saturn nebula. I'm really starting to to enjoy the process of res-sketching onto black paper with white pastels. There are a few tricks to learn in this and it doesn't seem as easy to control as graphite on white. I find that making a mark with pastel pencil and then softening and shaping it with a smudge stick seems to work OK. But it's harder to remove mistakes.
Anyway, here are my latest efforts. Both obs with 16" dob and dark skies. Any suggestions/critiques are most welcome.
