Earlier this month, Rodelaet started posting threads about a new sketching project he recently began: Binocular Icons. When I ran across his threads in the Cloudy Nights Sketching Forum (and his personal website), I was hooked. Rony is a very talented astro sketcher with an impressive portfolio of lunar, solar, and deep space sketches observed through his telescope. Now, to the delight of binocular observers everywhere, he has sharpened his magical pencil for a series of astronomy sketches observed through the unique binocular setup in his backyard. Here are some links. Rony's binocular sketches are found at the beginning (first post) of each thread.

His sketches are terrific.
