Hayduke27 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I had a really nice evening of observing last night, found a lot of objects new to me and enjoyed some of my other favorites. I managed to find the Triangulum Galaxy (NGC 0777), which is one of the dimmest objects I have managed to spot to date. I observed it and the surrounding stars for about 15-20 minutes before I began sketching. I took my time and probably sketched for about 30-45 minutes. I started by marking the center of my drawing area with a small spot which would become the galaxy, and then made marks where all of the visible stars were. I then went around and filled in the stars from brightest to dimmest. Finally I used a soft pencil, a smudge stick, and my eraser to make the galaxy. This is my first attempt at a galaxy, and I'm pretty happy with it overall. Viewing was done on a very clear, cold night with excellent viewing conditions. C8SE scope, Scientific Exploration 18mm 82* EP, no filters. I hope you like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
