Rogerio, I've really been enjoying your doubles. Wonderful observations and sketches!

I'd say your "snowball" double looks like it could fit in with all the snow I'm seeing outside my window right now.

Mark, hope you like this one, don't be surprised if you see them green!! I've seen such description.

Erika, I'm happy that you're enjoying my doubles! When I get better skies I'll star to render open clusters. A white street covered with snow, falling outside a window of a warm room, is the dream of many Brazilians, including me!!

Hope to visit your land one day!!! In December

Clear skies

Rogerio,

If snowballs could exist in Brazil then they would look like these! Thank you for sharing your observation with us all.

Rogerio,

Nice sketch of Kappa
Puppis. This pair is high enough above my horizon to have a first hand look.

Never seen snow?! Can you imagin that last week I firmly planted the tripod of my scope into 80cm of snow?

Thank's you all. I really can't imagine sky observation with snow! That's because I'm used to associate could with rain, wind and many clouds. Specially in the tropical winter!

Clear skies
