There were so many tiny stars in the background that it made it hard to keep my place while sketching. It was lots of fun anyway! -------------------- Jason Zhumell 8" Dobsonian 60mm Meade Telestar Sketching the Cosmos Messier countdown: 102 down, 8 to go!

Sal, I use an old MGI Photosuite III program for post processing. When I add color to the stars, I just use a draw tool, set at 1 pixel, and draw in the spikes. I draw a single line and darken the color as I move away from the center of the star. I repeat the process for each spike. I hope this helps! -------------------- Jason Zhumell 8" Dobsonian 60mm Meade Telestar Sketching the Cosmos Messier countdown: 102 down, 8 to go!

The spikes make the sketch looks so much better in my opinion.

I have enjoyed all of your new sketches. They are very nicely rendered. You have developped your own 'label'. Well done. I believe it is time for a tutorial on the 'Jason sketch technique'.
