We like the subtleties of objects that can only be gained by viewing repetition. It amazes me how every one sketching draws or sees the same object just a little differently. It makes me go back and look, "how did I miss THAT". Wonderful sketch! -------------------- Lee 8" Celestron f6 Dobsonian 10" Zhumell Dobsonian Class 4 Bortle Scale Backyard Site View Lee's Gallery Edited by pike_fly (10/27/07 09:08 AM) Post Extras:       Leo1 scholastic sledgehammer Reged: 06/07/06 Posts: 917 Loc: Central Kentucky, USA Re: Yet another Comet Holmes Sketch [Re: AnthonyP]       #1939123 - 10/26/07 02:57 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Just awesome. -------------------- Celestron NexStar 8i Celestron 9.25 XLT CPC Celestron Onyx 80EDF Piggy-backed on the CPC JMI EV2CM Motor Focuser Astro-Tech 2inch Diagonal TeleVue 13mm Nagler 6 Televue 11mm Nagler 6 Stardust Observing Chair TMB 9mm Planetary TMB 3.2 Planetary JMI Wheeley w/5 inch wheels Kendrick Dew Remover Model VI Post Extras:       rodelaet Carpal Tunnel Reged: 04/28/06 Posts: 2655 Loc: 50°56' N - 4°58' E (Belgium) Re: Yet another Comet Holmes Sketch [Re: AnthonyP]       #1939276 - 10/26/07 04:13 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Very nice, Anthony!
