The chess-board is the world, the pieces are the phenomena of the universe, the rules of the game are what we call the laws of Nature, the players on the other side is hidden from us.

My astronomy sketches. Hover mouse over image for the inverted look. For fainter objects, take a look at the black-on-white original, sometimes it reveals more details.

By constellation:



King 6 (Open cluster)
Right ascension: 3h 28m Declination: 56° 27'
Constellation: Camelopardalis
Date/time: 2008.03.15 19:00 UT
Equipment: 12" f/5 Newtonian
FoV: 27' Magnification and filter(s): 71x
Seeing: 5/10 Transparency: 3/5
Location: Nádasdladány, Hungary
Observer: Ferenc Lovró
Description:

Even the brightest star of this 6-7' cluster is only 10m, and all the rest of its brighter stars (about half a dozen) are also near 12m. Hidden in the background are even fainter members (about 30-35), which can be seen by averted vision to the 14th magnitude or so. It has a fuzzy background, suggesting plenty of even fainter stars.
