A selection of sketches by Carol Botha

Deep-sky Newsletter, 2014 January

Deep-sky observer Carol Botha (Cape Town) has collected a medley of sketches of some of the finest deep-sky objects visible in South African skies.

The sketches show her impressions of the objects as seen through a 12-inch Dobsonian; her descriptions and comments can be found on DOCdb.net, where you can also read her brief bio.

This latest batch brings Carol’s total of sketches up to 44, a remarkable achievement!
