I have done several of these on the similar theme in the past month or two. Now I don't know which one I should enter to the sketching contest by midnight tonight because I believe I have recently won and that disqualifies me for I think 3 months? I'll have to read the rules again. I'll look forward to any advice but I know I have to make that descision and comply with the rules. I have found that my eyes are becoming terribly strained while doing the jostling from eyepiece to the drawing surface; back and forth intensity over several hours, I cannot focus later for several days after these sketching sessions. I may have to end this method of sketching or go to bifocals or something; maybe become the blind artist-astronomer. Only my eye doctor knows? Monet was still painting at 85 but quite blind.
