M42 Core & Trapezium - Pastel Sketch
Day 37 of my UKMON Fireball Challenge where I'm creating an astronomy sketch or piece of art every day for 2 months. Today's sketch is the core of M42 the Orion Nebula with "The Trapezium" at the centre. It was sketched on black paper with coloured pastels + a white acrylic paint pen for the stars, using a photo that I took back in February 2017. The photo exposure time was kept really short so that the area around The Trapezium wasn't over-exposed - you can view the photo here: flic.kr/p/S9Q2zz
