Este aniversario en @astrohita llevaré originales de #dibujoastronómico Cada uno cuenta la emoción de la observación... y si, están hechos con mucha ilusión ♥️🎨🖌✨️🌓🔭

Ced 211 is a nebula around a variable star called R Aquarii. In my 14" it’s hardly to spot but using 25" under the pristine skies of 🇳🇦 it shows a variety of structures from an S-shaped nebula with brighter parts to knots outside. 25" at 670x.

Dibujo de la nebulosa oscura "Horse Head" o B-33, hecho durante mi última salida nocturna al Parque Natural de Izki. Esta vez utilicé el ocular ES 8.8 mm, a 170x, con el filtro #Optolong H-beta, lo que me ha permitido observar el hocico del caballo. #Astrosketch

NGC 3319 is truly hardly to spot but has an interesting shape so far. The outer rectangular structure at south contains several knots. At first view only the center strike is visible but with patience the entire appearance will change. 21" at 164x.

Mars seen through my 14 inch Dobson and 420x on 24th of December 2022 under fair seeing conditions.

NGC 2467 is a young Open Cluster (OC) in Puppis embedded in a huge gas cloud which can be observed with relatively small telescopes. It’s actually a star forming region. The sketch below shows the view through a 25 inch Dobson.

IC 5052 is not a “Superthin” Galaxy but could be because of its needle like shape. It’s visible from the Southern Hemisphere only and shows knots within its thin body. 25” Dobson & 278x

NGC 1365 is a barred spiral galaxy most known because of its beautiful shape. It’s located in Fornax and could be observed best from southern latitudes. Besides the spiral arms the core is very interesting because it appears like a pearl necklace. 25” at 278x.

It's been a while, but here is a sketch I did on October 22, 2022 of M76, The Little Dumbbell Nebula in the constellation Perseus.

G2 is a faint GC of M31 but with a 20“ Dobson easy to spot. G2 appears actually starlike (marked) with no details. At West you can see G1. The drawing shows the view at 231x where both are visible at the same time.

M110 is a small companion of the huge galaxy M31 with its own world. The marked “star” actually is a globular cluster (GC) of M110 called G73. In a 16 inch Dobson it is relatively easy to spot. Lot’s more GCs of M31 could be observed as well.

What do the giant planets Jupiter and Saturn look like at the eyepiece of an amateur telescope?
Here are two (pastels + pencils) sketches from last night using a 203mm/8-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain and magnifications of between 150 & 230x.

ALT Two scans of sketches of the planets Jupiter and Saturn made at the eyepiece of a telescope. The two sketches are shown side by side. Each consists of a circle of dark blue pastel on a black paper background. A dark, lightly shaded, border of black pencil marks the edge of the field of view. In the Jupiter sketch, the planet sits at the upper part of the field of view. Several salmon pink bands can be seen crossing the wheat-coloured Jovian disc. In the Saturn sketch the planet sits at the centre of the field of view. Its ring system is visible as are four of its moons which are positioned around it, appearing only as points of light.

I took on the challenge to sketch the fabulous globular cluster Omega Centauri, showing details like dark spots and lanes in its center, and its overall oval shape. #astrosketching

compact globular cluster NGC 5286 in Centaurus. Accompanied by a bright orange star, showing small variations in brightness and a couple of smaller star chains.
Sketched at the Rooisand Desert Farm, Namibia. #astrosketching

The so called “Pavo-Galaxy” is one of the highlights of the southern night sky. It’s tiny companion is NGC 6744A and can be found nearby. NGC 6744 is a typical barred spiral galaxy but even in a 25” Dobson details are not obvious as one may expect.
