Onya Orestis, you are doing great work with the gear you have. Looking forward to more of your work You kinda remind me of when I was your age, when I was using my 4.5" Newt and hunting all manner of DSOs and doing sketches with it. What fun it was too

You are certainly right about sketching picking up. Your work I'm sure has a lot to do with inspiring others to pick up a pencil and paper. Keep it up, mate.

To this end, keep an eye out for a new article I've just submitted to IIS on sketching DSO's. It should appear soon. I'll let you know too. I'm excited about this, it'll be my first 'published' article.
