After the TAAS meeting last night at our usual get together at Il Vicino we were talking about one of the astronomy clubs in Texas that Becky and Shane belong to, this group of astronomers has started to recreate the Messier Poster showing all 110 objects using their members own photos of the list. Becky and I decided to do this same thing for TAAS but using sketches rather than photographs. We are asking anyone interested to take out your sketch book, pad of paper, napkin or whatever is handy and easy to use and the next time you are looking at M1 or M101 to draw what you see in the eyepiece, jot down what size scope, eyepiece and location and let’s begin to compile a bunch of drawings and begin to put this thing together. I am going to do through my sketch books and gather my Messier Sketches as is Becky then we are going to begin to sketch some more so lend us a hand and lets have some fun…
