Welcome to Deep Sky Sketches! This site is used as personal storage space for sketches of various Deep Sky objects made by site maintainers, and also for the rest of the world to be able to view them conveniently. If you like what you see here, don?t forget to also visit The Deep Sky Archive, similar site with thousands of sketches mainly made by members of the Finnish Deep Sky section of Ursa Astronomical association but open to the whole world for submitting. What is Deep Sky anyway? Wikipedia defines Deep Sky as follows: "Deep sky is a term used by amateur astronomers to describe mostly faint objects outside the solar system like star clusters, nebulae and galaxies. These objects are hundreds to billions of light years distant. The galaxies are beyond our home galaxy, the Milky Way, while the clusters and nebulae are part of our home galaxy." That sums it up quite nicely. Deep Sky begins where our Solar System ends. This site is about visual observing of those objects - how you see them with your own bare eyes (with the help of optical instruments like binoculars or telescopes). Take a tour! Below this paragraph, four latest sketches are shown. Click a picture to view full details, or click here to browse or search all the sketches submitted to this site. Enjoy!
