I don't know how I did it, but it's fine with me! Blue and white Conte crayons with the dark areas drawn with a 4B pencil on white Mead sketching paper. Scanned into Photoshop. The details added as text and a single color adjustment layer added to shift the blue to more violet. About the right color... okay about being the key word there. Compare this to Peter Lawrence's superb image here: You have to turn his image 90 degrees CCW and mirror reverse it. I would do it and include it in the sketch but need permission first. You'll see why I am tickled with it! Okay I just edited the image to pilfer the color from peter's image. -------------------- Jeff Gortatowsky Fullerton, California Teleport 18cm f/5.7 Truss Newt Starsplitter 20cm f/6 4 Pole Newt Litebox 45cm f/4.5 Truss Newt Televue TV-101 10cm f/5.4 APO Cave Astrola Deluxe 25cm F/6 Newtonian Vixen/Celestron CP-80 / f/11.7 Archro Coronado SolarMax 60 f/6.6 H-Alpha Orion 100mm f/6 archomat w/ Lunt B600 CaK Module Starmaster 11 ELT 28cm f/4.5 -sold TMB-180 18cm F/9 - sold AP130EDT 13cm F/8 - sold Edited by gdjsky01 (07/04/09 05:32 PM) Post Extras:       Special Ed Post Laureate Reged: 05/18/03 Posts: 4232 Loc: Greenbrier Co., WV 38N, 80W Re: Sketch AR1024 in CaK 4-JUL-2009 18:15UT [Re: gdjsky01]       #3199001 - 07/04/09 04:15 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Nice job, Jeff!

I think I am on to something... Conte Crayons Red and Orange blended on white sketching paper. Then yellow for the plage and 4B lead pencil for darker areas (blended) and for the spots themselves... now to practice... and figure out the correct Ha Color.... Yeah and the darker areas are a little too dark... I'll work on that as well... still...
