Re: first sunspot sketch, August 27, 2023.
You did a very good job, the proof is in the photo's of @Solsearcher. Those are done very well too, by the way!
Also nice to see the evolution of the spots since the other day.
One does not necessarily need mastership to sketch, a bit of guts is all that is needed. And the intention to sketch what one sees and not what one knows.
I'm glad you picked up the pencil. You should do that more often! Can we induct you into the very small guild of sketchers on The Sky Searchers?
It's very nice to have people even on a modern forum who honour the old craft!!
