Yeah, it turned out pretty good.  I never sketched a nebula before.  It was fun.  If I can find any more I'll sketch them.  It only took about 10 minutes to find M42 even with GOTO.  I guess that I'll have to resort to 3 star alignment or something.  M-42 was gorgeous!!  Even with el cheapo Zhumell 32mm eyepiece.

Jupiter - by Chuck

I actually sketched Jupiter this morning September 25, 2011.  It was so early in the morning that I was so groggy I didn't know what day it was.  Sorry.

This is a quick presentation for Tamas Bognas' Hungarian Astro Sketch Blogspot. By Chuck Hastorf of Arizona, USA.

I formerly made pencil sketches but now draw directly on my laptop. I use Sketchbook Pro with a Wacom "Bamboo" pen digitizer.

Let's begin....

Pretty crude but it makes sense to me... Now begin rendering the image on Sketchbook Pro

Add some texture....

Add some washes...striving for realism..

Add some details and we are finished...
