Yesterday evening I could sketch the wonderful pair of craters Atlas and Hercules with charcoal and chalk on black cardbox. This was the second sketch I did of these craters. I had a look into my archive and compared the current sketch with the one done on May last year.
Both sketches have been done with my 5” Celestron MAK. What we can see is the different lighting conditions based on moon age and libration. Furthermore, the seeing conditions last time have been much better than yesterday – I could not go up to 300x yesterday but had to leave it with the 7mm EP.
Clear skies!

Achim,
Nice sketching of crater Atlas and again in different lighting.

Achim,
Very much enjoyed the comparison between the 2 sketches of Atlas and Hercules at different lunar phases.
