sketches from Kielder

[MarkR]

Attached some sketches I made from Kielder star party- made as the ice was forming around my feet!! What a night, I finally had enough at 0430 when my scope and finder had iced over and I couldn't feel my feet. It ended with my first view of a very narrow Saturnian ring system.

Regards,

Mark

PS All made with 102 Skywatcher Pro.

PPS and the Veil nebula was from home at Amesbury near Salisbury

Good job, Mark! The mottling in M1 adds some depth.. nice touch.

Hi - great sketches - thanks for sharing them. Ed

Missed these somehow. Very nice sketches and you've got a lot of detail with 4". Must remember to try for NGC 7331 at some point

Was nice to have met you at Kielder, by the way
