Another faint spiral: NGC 925. And the elusive Wolf Lundmark Melotte irregular dwarf galaxy. Drawings were made with a graphite pencil on a white paper, and inverted in Photoshop. I observed with a 10" Skywatcher Newtonian, at Negev desert in Israel (~ 6.7 NELM) original drawings can be found here, here and here Post Extras:       Andrev Carpal Tunnel Reged: 02/08/11 Loc: Montreal, Quebec, Canada Re: A few galaxies in Triangulum and Cetus [Re: Michael11]       #5383396 - 08/23/12 07:25 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Michael. Man your sketches are real and nice. It's exactly as they look in my C14 and really I feel like looking in your scope. Very very beautiful sketches. You are talented. I like looking at your website for all your work. Congrats my friend. As a visual observer, your sketches are more valuable than any picture to me. I like all the beautiful pictures here, but sketches reprensent the real thing to my eyes. Andre.

I could barely see hints of them.

I really don't know, I never tried this one. Next I'll go, if still available, I'll try it. Looks a nice one. Andre.

I like them as they represent what can really be seen with the eyes. I must congratulate you also for lying down all those stars around the galaxies.

I see a huge amount of work for the Cr21. Influencing your WLM (PGC 143) sketch I am going to observe it tonight (had no idea about the object before). Thank you and best regards.

I had no idea about the WLM either - a friend asked me to show it. It's quite a challenging, low contrast object.
