NGC246

[Jose Rodrigues]

Hello folks!

On saturday, I sent stargazing with my girlfriend at a friend's place. The sky is not too bad, but unfortunately there still is some light pollution in direction of the south.

I was looking at NGC246 (In Cetus constellation, which was still south-east) when I asked them if they would "allow" me to sketch it. They did.

Here is the result:

 

I'm not really satisfied since the "right" extensions are not it the right place. I mean, the fourth star should be in the center of the "spikes" and not on the border. Better luck next time.

that a beautiful drawing from an object I have never seen before, Its shape reminds me of the Ring nebula. I like your pencil strokes, they bring an unique look to this object.
