Your colours are quite vivid and make your sketches very much "alive". It's also interesting to see the rotation of the Jupiter surface. It must've taken a lot of patience to draw that all. And I concur with Jef. You don't see many 40mm refractors around anymore. But yet it's amazing what you can already see with them. Very nice work! Peter Post Extras:       Paul G.

Mostly because we got so little Sun last year!!! Jeff- I got the small 'scope just for solar work. It actually works rather well for it! Peter- thanks. I see the colours very vividly- I don't know people cannot see them and I try to render them as accurately as possible.

Always love your colors. Equally impressive solar sketch. Nice work.
