I still have my Galaxy Invader 1000 and it still works!

The Orion Nebula. Straight out of the Dwarf 3, no additional processing. 20 minutes total.

My sketch of Mars from Wednesday this week. Though I don't see as much detail as can be seen in images, I find the act of sketching what I see at the eyepiece to be very satisfying. I find I concentrate on teasing out detail. I had it confirmed that the white areas on the limb are clouds and haze.

Mars is starting to clear my neighbours tree early enough that I can stay up to observe it. Here is a drawing I made last night, using my 250mm Mewlon reflecting telescope. These markings were clearly visible, with some fleeting hints at more detail. The large triangular feature is Syrtis Major.
