  1. For all moon-painters, “The Police” and Sting song:


    Giant steps are what you take
    Walking on the moon
    I hope my legs don’t break
    Walking on the moon
    We could walk forever
    Walking on the moon
    We could live together
    Walking on, walking on the moon

    It is very nice to walk with You guys! πŸ˜€

  2. Aleksander,

    Very impressive sketch as the moon approached first quarter. The difference in crater depth between the Aristillus/ Autolycus pair with dark floors and the shallower Cassini is very well demonstrated.

  3. Hi Olek,
    Beautiful Moon sketch. As usually perfect drawn.
    I want you to teach me, perhaps at some rally?
    Marek referred even to famous Sting’s hit.
