Here’s another blog from the cache of sketches I stowed away in my basement and that remained untouched for 20 years. This drawing is one I made of the Owl Nebula (M97) back in the 1980s. Enjoy!

To learn more about astronomical sketching, Astronomy magazine subscribers can access my Astronomy.com video "Sketching from the telescope" and read Glenn Chaple's Observing Basics column "Sketching 101."
