Default Pastel sketch: Sunrise over Copernicus - 2nd February 2012, 12:26 PM
I made this pastel sketch of crater Copernicus last night. It was very cold (-9 Celsius) but the seeing was pretty good. I observed from 18.00UT till 19.00UT. Sketch is made with white pastel om black paper. The scope I used was my old 3" f/16 Polarex/Unitron refractor.
