Tom,
Thanks, Remember when we could see the Cassini division without straining our eyes?

Maybe a tad late to comment on this one, Frank, but I love this sketch of Saturn made without a template (I presume).

Jean,
Yes, thank you. I find Saturn very difficult to sketch. A template makes it look much better. Also, white pastel on black paper isn't the best for capturing Saturn. I went back to graphite on white paper after this.
