Hi all

I did some skecthes yesturday at around 22:30 (cause ain`t going to school todauy cause i`m recovering from a cold).

Of what i think is M42.(I aimed my telescope in the Orions belt area started moving it about and i saw a dust cloud).

and i did some of Mars (didn`t really see any features) from my (rough) sketches, can anyone tell me if what i saw last night was M42?

Would appreciate it very much.

cheers.

The images are:

P.S will try and do some more skecthes soon.

cheers Caz.

I`m quite pleased with them myself esp Mars cause it was pretty hard .

I`m quite disapointed that i didn`t see any features of mars to be honest.Mind you this is only a beginner scope.

I`m chuffed that i M42

thnxs for your concern.

BTW in case you was wandering i did my observing from my bedroom window

Great start there Moonhunter

Put the dates on your notes,& put them in a scrap book,then in a few years time you look back & remember the night you were hanging out of the bedroom window looking at Orion (not recommended BTW)

Keep it up Mick.

Great sketches, keep a note of time / date / viewing conditions, etc. Will be useful when you look back in years to come.

I've done very little deep sky or planetary sketching. Sketching is very rewarding, as it makes you pay much more attention to what you are looking at. Keep doing it!

I've enjoyed looking at your sketches Moonhunter. How about trying Plaiedes next? That would be a good target

Martin

[Carl]

Thnxs everyone for your nice comments.Just for you Martin i will try and sketch the plaiedes

I still can`t see then only half.When i posted the mars sketches i could see them.

But i can`t see the IC one.Weird

Thats really odd Moonhunter, it's possible that your computer cached the images incorrectly, have you tried refreshing the page several times and seeing if that works?

Can you see them on the http://iseestars.net site? Here's your user area: http://iseestars.net/user/Moonhunter everything seems to working fine for me. Let me know if the refreshing trick fixes it, if not feel free to contact me and we can try some other things that may be playing up.

Cheers,

Grant
