I’m new to Astronomy and CN. I had heard of Sketching, but this is the first time that I have seen it. I think this is a wonderful art form. I’ve always heard that photos can’t adequately capture what is seen through the eyepiece. Well done!
Clear Skies!

Your rendition of M3 and comet Leonard are so amazing, I found myself taking closer look!
Congratulations on a great sketch, I hope to see more of your art.

Congrats! Beautiful, just beautiful. What a unique and memorable moment to capture, a bright comet in same FOV as the bright Messier 3 GC.
Keep up the great work (and sharing your talents with the rest of us!)
CS!
