You are a very talented artist Ken - that is a beautiful sketch, although the word sketch doesn’t do this piece of fine celestial art justice! Masterpiece comes to mind!

Cheers

Dennis

Great job, Ken. You display great patience to come up with that rendition. Between you and Sebastion, we have a budding artistic community developing on the forum.

When my scope comes back with its mods from Peter Read, I would like to give that sketching thing a go myself.

By gee Ken, you are a man of many talents, great work, mate, it must have something to do with the Ballarat side of things, as i got my image of Eta Carina on the IIS Home Page, as image of the week too.
