Club member Jerry Lodriguss is well known for his excellent astrophotography, which we often feature on the WAS home page. But he's also a skilled visual observer, as evidenced by this sketch of Orion's Belt and Sword, along with the accompanying observing report for the morning of September 15, 2015, when he resolved Theta Orionis with his unaided eyes.
