The universe drawn

Description

These are a few sample pages from my logbook in a collage. Drawings include planets, comets and deep space objects as star clusters, nebulae and galaxies. I liked to add color to sketches and did so without added light to work by or just a red LED light. A white flashlight at a star party gets you rawred at- severely. A lot of having good night vision is practice versus innate ability. At one time I could easily read by starlight and with moonlight, could do color sketches of the planets as here. For the fainter objects, I would make colorization notes for next day entry of the page into the logbook. Most deep space drawings are done on white paper with black pencil. which is easier to do and PS can flip the colors, but some of these go back 15 years previous to Photoshop!

Neat!

I'm now imagining someone literally "rarring" at a star party. :-D
