One of my "L" Adapters.

My EXOS-2 Mount with my AR102L on it. Or maybe my C80. Or AR127. Or 60mm Meade. I don’t know. Just clouds.

OMG Bryan.
I am rolling on the floor laughing.

I will try to post a drawing of my gear Seer, but I am not promising anything like the quality that you have posted.

[chicagorandy]

With a box of art pencils, a ream of quality paper and two weeks of effort.....I couldn't draw a crooked line. So I'll take a hard pass on this challenge.

At this point just clouds and mist on a dewy, drizzling morning, but I admire your work Donald.

Oh, is that a cloud? I thought it might be your head exploding with frustration. Either way, it's a good drawing.

Well...I have given this my best shot with my android sketch pad.
This is my 5 inch f7.5 refractor. :-)

I think that is awesome!
It is interesting what you wrote on your drawing because I had my first dream about astronomy last night.

Hmmm...were the skies clear, Donald?
If they were overcast I call those nightmares . :-)

I can't draw to save my life. In total contrast, my cousin Anton Pulvirenti, is a full time professional artist.

He came on a solar eclipse tour I ran in 2012 and produced numerous pen and pencil on ink drawings.



Our base of operations was an apartment. Anton produces lots of work that is like a snapshot of everyday life. Here he was sitting opposite me while I was sending emails, one of my mounts in the background. I was completely unaware that he was drawing me.


Here I am on the porch on left with my late friend Bengt Alfredsson kneeling at the other mount. Once again, we were not aware we were being drawn.


and this was the scene at our inland escape site. Our group travelled 2 hrs inland to escape the coastal cloud that skunked most observers.


Still love looking at these drawings.

Those are great!

He is quite the artist!

[Don Quixote]

Wonderful works Joe !
I especially like the third one of the broad view.
Thank you for sharing them.

When seen in the smaller avartar, I didn't notice the drawing of the scope. Now your avatar makes perfect sense.
