Thanks Mike very much indeed. A great idea to collate a knowledge base for developing and preserving the art of sketching.

Cheers

Jere Kahanpää also has a Minimum Aperture Catalogue on his website.

This is intriguing!

Hello,

I have found this link to a site by Jere Kahanpää on sketching astronomical views from the telescope.

There is also The Belt of Venus website, run by Jeremy Perez, which has lots of information and tips about sketching from a telescope.

I have also been browsing

"Astronomical Sketching: A step-by-step Introduction" by Richard Handy et al (including Jeremy Perez from above).

"Sketching the Moon: An Astronomical Artist's Guide" by Richard Handy et al

For these two publications, there are some well-known bookseller sites that allow you to browse through the pages of these books - quite a generous number of pages are available for legitimate, free viewing!

Sorry if this is a re-post, but it might be nice to have a thread which collates all these resources.

Best wishes

Tony
