It really makes your brighter stars pop, and helps convey the visual personality of the cluster. -------------------- Orion SVP 6LT (6" f/8 Newt) || Orion XT8 (8" f/5.9 Dob) || 15x70 Oberwerk Binoculars || Coronado PST The Belt Of Venus || Sketch Gallery || Sketching Resources || Drawn to the Universe Column Post Extras:       Jaycin Carpal Tunnel Reged: 07/09/06 Posts: 2146 Loc: Oregon, USA Re: M47 12/17/06 [Re: Jeremy Perez]       #1328966 - 12/29/06 03:47 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Thank you very much Jeremy! I'm glad you noticed the stellar magnitudes. I've been trying to make them as accurate as possible, so there is a degree of realism to my sketches. -------------------- Jason Zhumell 8" Dobsonian 60mm Meade Telestar Sketching the Cosmos Messier countdown: 102 down, 8 to go!

The sense of depth in this one is just astonishing. Those faint stars in the background as well as the brighter foreground stars really help to convey this feeling. I'm not so sure my interpretation correctly identifies their real spatial arrangement but your sketch does give it that feel. Excellent work!

I think globulars and tight or really faint open clusters belong to the most difficult objects to draw anyways. Sooner or later, I'll have to face them, too! Great work! -------------------- teen Post Extras:       Jaycin Carpal Tunnel Reged: 07/09/06 Posts: 2146 Loc: Oregon, USA Re: M47 12/17/06 [Re: Sidewinder]       #1332942 - 12/31/06 04:19 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Thank you Rich and Sebastian! I have come to enjoy sketching OC's more and more. I have always been a stickler for detail in my drawings, and OC's are a wealth of detail. -------------------- Jason Zhumell 8" Dobsonian 60mm Meade Telestar Sketching the Cosmos Messier countdown: 102 down, 8 to go!
