Nice sketch. You draw an enormous quantity of fine stars! How much time you spend sketching?

Frank, Jef, Michael, and Tommy

Thank you for your kind compliments on my Mars and Beehive Cluster conjunction. It was striking to see the red planet among the beautiful pattern of the Beehive Cluster. I am glad that some of you were able to view the event.

Jef- It takes approximately fifteen to twenty minutes to place the brighter stars in position in the rendering. The smaller stars are placed over a period of another twenty to thirty minutes. This time scale varies according to the complexity of the object being rendered.

Carlos
