This “sketching at the telescope” edition features a sketch of mine from the 1980s of the great globular cluster Omega Centauri (NGC 5139).

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."
