Hi all,

as well today the sun is shining brightly here. I set up the Lunt to have a look at it, at first just for observing. However, somehow I cannot resist and have to do a sketch This time I've chosen reddish pastels on grey paper to better catch the color of the view in the eyepiece.

Eyepiece: Celestron X-cel 10mm
Date & Time: May 15th, 2020 / 1400-1430 CEST
Location: home terrace, Dusseldorf region, Germany

Clear (and sunny) skies!
