My pastel sketch of #totality during yesterday's #TotalSolarEclipse. I wasn't there to see it in person this time, but I used the amazing photo shared by Tom Kerss (with permission) as a reference image. The #corona looked so different yesterday than it did when we saw the 2017 eclipse because we were in solar minimum then and near solar maximum now. There were several lovely #prominences visible too #AstronomySketching #SunSketch

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
