drawing realized with graphite pencil near the Teide caldeira, at the bottom of the Teide Observatory. For arrive to this detailed vision, I had need 1 hour of intensive work! The telescope I have used is a Maksutov Intes 6″ with 68x of magnification.

Just lovely! I am pleased that you stuck with it until you’d pulled out all the deatil you could – and that effort shows!
Well done.
