2009 sketches and uncoventional imaging showcase

[MartinB]

Please use this thread to showcase your best images captured during 2009. Just one post per member but you can include up to 5 images if you want.

The thread is for all imagers novices and advanced. Hopefully we will be able to do the same again next year. Over time we will be able to see the progress which is being made by individuals and as a forum.

Please keep details to a minimum - scope and camera possibly along with a few comments.

The thread needs to be packed with images so please don't respond to the postings

My two from last year.

The first - a rough study of Copernicus - I was very proud to have had published in AN and ASOD . Made in April - conté pastel on black card. 171x through a 6" achro.

The second I sketched at darkest Kielder also through a refractor - my lovely new ED120. An OC and a face on galaxy - NGC 6939 and 6946.

some brilliant work there, the Copernicus sketch is superb!
