The page is a standard 8.5x11 US size paper with the drawing mounted, but what you see is reduced to keep the size down. It was a good night to give thanks.

Very nice sketch of NGC4490 and 4485. And as you do so often - a first class presentation.

Roland,

This is an impressive sketch of the pair. Just when I think your drawings are as good as they can be you top yourself with yet a better sketch. Excellent work, I agree with Jim above.

Frank

Roland,

An excellent observation of this interesting pair of inter-acting galaxies in Canes Venatici. A supernova (2008ax) was detected in NGC 4490 on March 3, 2008. Thank you for sharing it with us all.

Beautiful sketch Roland! The variation in brightness of the nebulosity in the two galaxies is captured wonderfully.

Great work, Roland.

This view shows so well how these galaxies interact.
