Alexander, thanks for posting that pic- that sketch of 47Tuc is absolutely jaw dropping. I observed the *%#@ out of this the other night and it put a smile on my face when I saw this sketch as to how much it resembled what I saw. I wonder how long it took to do it  . |
Thanks Suzy. I'm pretty anal when it comes to sketches, I want everything to look as I see it in real time. Can't remember how long it took, but probably over an hour.
The 8" Meade starfinder I did it with was an excellent scope, absolutely fantastic optics. I borrowed it from a local astro club, I can only wish I owned it as a grab n go! I've made a few Jupiter sketches with that scope aswell.
