Albireo

This was my first attempt at a sketch. Was battling clouds the whole time, so that added to the challenge. Let me know what you think.

I personally think this is a gorgeous sketch, Karl. The colours and inherent brightness is very well done. I appreciate just how difficult it is to sketch at the eyepiece and you've done yourself proud. Look forward to seeing more of your work in the near future

I'm liking the 'shimmer' effect.    Good work.

So nice to see a realistic sketch of "the mess" of viewing stars at high power - rarely are stars nice round dots/diffraction rings. Is this sketch totally free hand or done in photoshop? - impressed either way. Mike

[2Karl]

All free hand, although I used Gimp to invert the image and added colouration to the main stars. Computer was only used to adjust colours, not to add any detail.

Very original I like it too.

[JamesF]

As do I.  Well done.

One word..... GORGEOUS!

[RT65CB-SWL]

Very nice. 

[Lurcher]

This is a great sketch. I like the way you've drawn the diffraction rings just as you would have seen them.

(Very cleverly done).

Once again someone's come along and kicked my efforts into the long grass!
