Spectacular sketches. I was observing Sinus Iridium the night before last and marvelling at those wrinkles. The sketch brings it all out in wonderful detail! The sketch of Thor's Helmet, compared to my views of the object so far, is as effective an advert for a 14" Dob as I've ever seen ;D;D;D;D;D Being a bad sketcher myself, I really appreciate the patience, dedication, skill, talent it takes to create such art!

Two beautiful pieces of work. Seen together, they create a very enjoyable contrast. Thanks to both observers for these memorable sketches.
