Orion, again!

[N3ptune]

I could not let the opportunity pass of sketching the group of stars including the nebula. Again, the view was stunning with my big eyepiece 34mm, breathtaking. So it's my 3rd of 4th sketch of Orion but it's the first with all the entire collection of stars, the 3 groups (bellow the belt). They were fitting right in the FOV, perfect!

My sketch was done at -13 Celcius, freezing with my 200 x 1000 Newtonian using my favorite ES68d 34mm, 2.2d TFOV. I used no filters to have a better view of the stars.

The nebula itself there is 3x too much contrast, it was lighter then that, I could not do better But i am happy with the effort (and the memory)

Lovely sketch, always a joy viewing this Nebula ?

Thanks to all of you for looking at my sketch. (; I wish  the nebula was a bit lighter then it is in the sketch.. but maybe for the next sketch.

Of course it's the sword. I should have known that.

I'm guessing that it's an accurate representation of what you saw.
