My name is Michael Geldorp. I am 32 years old, and I live
in a small town in the Netherlands. I have liked astronomy since
I was 8 years old. I own a
telescope, and I try to go out under the stars when it is clear at
night. Instead of just looking at a planet or a nebula and forgetting
it later, I always draw what I see.

After drawing for a few minutes,
you will see much more than you thought at first. Drawing really
makes you appreciate the beauty of the night sky.
Drawing looks hard, but it's really easy. You don’t
need to be an artist to do it; it just takes a little practice. Remember,
your drawing doesn’t have to be pretty. Just make the sketch look
as much like the real object as you can.
On the next page, I'll try to explain how I draw what
I see. I hope these tips will help you with your drawings.
