Hi Marios. Another great sketch from you. A fine display of the active regions on the sun using the 10" Dob and your artist skills. Thanks for sharing this work with us Marios, and the best of wishes for many clear skies.

Hi Marios, you do some of the best sketches ever; I can't believe the detail you capture. Very nicely done, and it seems the new area you caught was very short-lived. Good for you on that! :D

All the best,
Mark
