The subtle Emission Nebula, IC 417, with the embedded Open Cluster, Stock 8, is located at the center of a celestial-Y with the outer ends of the Y consisting of M36, M38 and the Flying Minnow Asterism. This was my last drawing for the night, and it turned out to give me the most trouble.
I usually predate my observations/drawings by doing at least some background work. This often makes the object come alive in my mind when observing it, but once at the telescope I strive to be open-minded as to what I am seeing and realize that observational biases can easily creep in. Before drawing/observing a Celestial Object, a balance must be reached, in knowing enough not to miss something interesting or important, but on the other hand not to develop preconceived notions about what it will look like. One often “falsely” sees what one is looking for when dealing with objects on the fringe of visibility. If I had not researched into IC 417 and Stock 8, there is a good chance that I would not recognize that it consisted of both an Open Cluster and an Emission Nebula.
I struggled with IC 417 and Stock 8, because they did not appear as I had expected. To begin with, in older star atlases, Stock 8 is out of position with IC 417. Even when this is corrected for, the given sizes of the cluster and nebula were far greater than what appeared in the eyepiece. Most likely, this was due to literature measurements of the nebula and open cluster using far larger telescopes or photographic images. Whatever the reason, the cluster appeared so much smaller than I expected, that at first, I did not recognize it. The nebula, IC 417, was even worse. I expected, using a nebula filter, to see it spreading large in my field-of-view. Separating the sub-resolved star-haze of the open cluster (Stock 8) and the haze of the nebula (IC 417) around it was not possible visually from my backyard without the use of nebula filters. The only way that I was sure both were present was by using an Oxygen-3 filter that enhanced the nebula and diminished the Open Cluster. By switching between no-filters and nebula filters, I was finally able to separate both in the eyepiece (even though they are at the same location). One final note; in my drawing the sizes of both Stock 8 and IC 417 are my estimates done visually using a 6-inch refractor from suburbia. I realize that they are far smaller than what is recorded in the literature.

Madrid skyline at night, seen from the west side. The blackness below all the lights is a steep slope down and then a golf course.
It was below freezing, so to get warm I decided to run around up and down the slope with a LED lamp in my hand and try to draw something. Then I thought it would be cool to sign the picture.
Just so you get a glimpse of how far I was, I made the signature about 1 meter (3 feet) wide.

Although I've been using texture layers for years, it was only a few months ago that I learned about "luminosity masks." Rather than the texture layer appearing to lay flat on top of the background image (even with different layer blending modes), a luminosity mask helps embed it into the background image by varying the strength of the texture according to the tones of the background. The difference is quite significant. In this case, there are two layers embedded into the background - a texture layer and the yin/yang symbol layer.

This ring is from my Embedded series. It is a one-of-a-kind production. The ring was cast in fine silver using the lost wax technique. A volcanic beach pebble is embedded in the silver of the ring.
Probably every person who has worked with stones and metal has longed for the possibility to inset the stone directly into the metal without the obtrusive interference of prongs and bezels. Embedded is my personal fulfillment of this longing. The resulting jewelry gives me great satisfaction
