This is my latest digital sketch. It's of the Andromeda galaxy, M31 and is converted from a sketch I did last night (18/8/2010).
The seeing wasn't perfect because the gibbous Moon was visible at the time.
I used my 130mm Newtonian Reflector at a magnification of X36.
This is the first time I have observed M31 with my telescope and I was pleased with the result.
Also last night I tested a new 4mm eye piece by observing Jupiter.
I was very excited to be able to see most of the bands as at lower magnifications I've not been able to see any detail. I will attempt to sketch Jupiter at a later date.
