NGC2244 The Satellite Cluster 19/03/2013

After grabbing some jupiter avi's I hooked up the mount to Stellarium and was just having a look at what was on offer and found a cluster on screen that I had not seen before. SO I hit Cntrl + 1 and off the mount went and had the 13mm Ethos in and when I saw the cluster for the first time I really liked it so decided to grab my sketch book. I spent about 20 minutes looking at it. Below is my go at it with a pencil, is not great I had to use the eraser many times as I had trouble getting the scale right. Anyway I had a good time at the eyepiece which is what matters to me. Advice welcomed :)


 


Equipment:


200P on NEQ6 Pro with Televue 13mm Ethos

Very nice cluster to find Felix. Makes a change from the Messiers. Can't see the drawing very well on my iPhone but will have a look on the laptop later.

Nice one.

Have a look at some pics with the Rosette around it. There are some good images on the forum by members.
