Drawing of #Sunspot #AR13615, the largest and most complex white light #ActiveRegion I've ever drawn, as it looked at 11:00 UT 24th March 2024. I created it from photos taken with a #WilliamOptics 70mm refractor, Altair Herschel wedge, Celestron 3x Barlow + ASI120MC camera. #AstronomySketch #SunSketch

This popped up on my Facebook memories from a year ago. #PastelSketch on black paper of the Sun rising over #LunarCrater #Gassendi I used an awesome photo taken by Steve Knight as my reference #AstronomySketch #LunarSketch #MoonSketch #SpaceArt

First #AstronomySketch using my new #ParallelogramMount for my 15 x 70 #Binoculars of #M42 #OrionNebula It was clear when I set up but clouded over after 4 stars were added; the rest were added 1 star at a time through gaps. It took well over an hour! Black paper + #StabiloCarbOthello #PastelPencils

#LastQuarterMoon #PastelSketch This was a commission I worked on last year but it was a Christmas gift so I couldn't share the photo straight away. I used #StabiloCarbOthello #PastelPencils on black paper. Creation video here: https://youtu.be/9yKZzqdOG04 #AstronomySketch #LunarSketch #AstronomyArt #SpaceArt
