Beautiful work!

It is great to see that other artist-astronomers are open and willing to post their artistic impressions freely, openly and in a highly visible place. I thought I was the only one!

Keep up the great work Matthew!

It's beautiful! I might try something like that with my rocker box. Did you put a lacquer or anything over it to protect it in the humidity?

I haven't coated it with anything just the paint. I'll look into this.
