I present to You two sketches made by a 9yo child, Her name is Wiktoria Janowska. I met Her at the Zelow Observatory a couple days ago. She's very, very clever n lovely little woman. Well, in this case, Her fantasy sometimes dominated over realism, Imo, this is why these sketches are so beautiful and unique. She saw a lot of details, maybe a little too much We used a Coronado PST, Lunt Ls35THa, Mak 127 with Baader solar filter and two Celestron telescopes- 100 and 120mm. At the end We admired a beautiful Sunset, using Celestron 120, without any filters. We were just amazed. Asymmetry and Sunspots are extremely impressive, We admired to the last sun rays...

My daughters are always waiting to sketch the Sun when I finished counting the number of solarspots Post Extras:       astronz59 sage Reged: 09/15/10 Loc: Auckland, New Zealand Re: Solar sketches made by 9yo girl :) [Re: ASTROOKIE]       #5521283 - 11/15/12 01:59 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Wow! What you have done is that you created memories for her that have clearly fired up her imagination. This is an experience she will never forget and hopefully ignite a passion for astronomy. Well done!

I am teasing, of course. It is a pleasure to read stories like this. I also (like you) enjoy the imaginative liberty taken by younger eyes when recording observations.
