Lunar Crater Copernicus
Observed at Bristol UK
22nd May 2010 ; 22:50 using Nexstar 8SE
I love this crater. It’s what a lunar crater should be – full of
mystery, depth, extravagant structures and always changing.
Sketched at the scope using 2B, 4B and 6B on a field sketch pad
(white, medium surface cartridge). I use a colour gradation scale
(1-10) which I update later. The sketch is then scanned into
Photoshope where I blend the sketch onto a gray background as well
as cloning away the gradation figures. I add additional emphemeris
information using “Virtual Moon”.
