This object was extremely faint as it never rises high above the southern horizon resulting in poor observing conditions. Using the "old" drawing method, I was not able to create a realistic picture of what I had seen in the telescope. So I started to experiment with a new drawing method:

I used white and grey pencils on black paper. The stars were made using a white roller pen. Since the roller pen doesn't allow the creation of faint stars, I am still looking for another solution. Maybe Rotrings will do?
