Hi
This is a sketch of the crater Gassendi, one of the most beautiful “fractured floor craters” on the moon.
The sketch was made through my 6” achromatic refractor (TS Individual 152/900), binoviewer, a pair of 8 mm eyepieces and glasspath at 293x. The seeing was variable, usually bad but with very good moments of few seconds that allowed me to perceive the structure called “Rima Gassendi”: a pattern of fractures inside the crater.
I hope you to enjoy with this sketch.
