M35 - From LAX

[AlexxxAA]

Here is my second sketch ever

Since the moon was high and bright, i thought i would seek out something that would be kind of bright through the moon-glow.

Unfortunately the regular light pollution didnt help either.

I was saddened that not even with averted vision, theres was absolutely no signs of any fuzziness of NGC 2158

Hopefully on a moonless night i will have better luck

Hope you guys like it and approve.

I tell you what, that is a fantastic sketch Alex. Really like how you've rendered that with the brighter and fainter stars in the cluster. A super representation of what is a challenging cluster to draw simply because there are so many stars to plot. Very good

Thank you so much ! It means alot. I'm really excited about getting back into observations. I already bought a sketchbook to keep my collection of observations

This M35 was the first in the book. I think the Kite will be next when the Moon fades away a little.

Excellent rendering Alex.

As Seb said, a difficult target to represent with so many stars in the field.

I particularly like your treatment of the brighter ones!

Clear skies,

Damian

Thank you Damian!

I found it very tedious... But I stuck with it eventhough it was cold. I'm waiting for a clear night to search for more fuzzies

Thanks Zul and Todd
