Here's a member of the Leo Trio, perhaps feeling a bit lonely on its own. (But that's life with a narrow-field instrument.)
The sketch was executed Mar 26 under quite favorable conditions (Pickering 7 seeing; NELM 6 transparency with a SQM reading of 20.7). This is one of the last three sketches I did with my previous instrument -- a Meade 16" SCT OTA mounted on an AP1200GTO.
HB pencil on white cartridge paper with lots of blending stump work. Dark lane executed primarily with a kneadable eraser ("gum rubber" on this side of the pond) and the afore-mentioned blending stump.
Sketch scanned into Photoshop, scanning artifacts cleaned up, and then inverted.
