I sketched this moon limb lanscpe one year ago when I had just started Moon skeching work.
Until that time, I never dreamed, wanted to draw the moon for ,through my several decade moon observing careear .
Why draw it? Photographing is more easy, more accurate………..
But, once I started sketching work, … there are many benefits to understand , study, reserch the Moon. .
This lanscape place zone is located at the far west side limb of equator area of full moon phase , and this is maybe Crater Hedin, or Crater Ricciolli . The big mount seen at the center of this sketch is maybe the central peak . The day before yesterday, I sketched another one on this same place, ( just one year interval ) and, here I introduce this past – one.
This lanscape zone span size is about 100 km .
8 inches achromatic refractor F 12 , homemade equatorial at X 340 ~ X 500
location ; at Backyard my house in South Korea
white paper, graphite pencils, black ink
Lunar phase = full moon, ( 15 day )
Lovely. waiting for this year sketch, just compare.
