2Karl Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Sellent Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craney Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I'm liking the 'shimmer' effect. Good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike JW Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Karl Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurcher Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
