Hi Steve - these are really nice drawings, lovely sharp detail and accurate as well. How did you do these? They look like white pencil on black paper/card - is this right? Also, how long did each picture take to compile?
Keep posting these since they make a great complementation to the digital images that most of us are deriving with cameras.

Thanks Martin!
Probably about 15 minutes each I reckon. They are just paper and pencil then scanned and inverted on the computer to give white on a black background (I clipped the white point a bit in the levels to make the stars more pure white).
Cheers.
Stephen.

Great pictures Stephen. Give them to Steve to be added to the monthly video, it is always good to have drawings as well as images
