2018-05-24 - Crater "Kies"

Recommended Posts

My vacation is almost over but I had a good time and did astronomy on 4 occasions in 7 days, which is very good for a week! (;  It was all about Venus, Jupiter, the moon, and one observation out of 4 were done with my new Orthoscopic 6mm which I received by mail. À Great end of vacation gift! :icon_king:

I spent some time attempting to sketch of a few craters, the pale and one is called "kies" It's close to larger crater Bullialdus in the Mare Nubium. This was of course a perfect exercise with my new OR-HD 6mm @ 167x total power the resolution was impressive. Also an observation the same day I received the eyepiece, it's double the joy. ??

I wanted to have a simple scene and from time to time, a low contrast crater is fun to look at, the 2H pencil was used extensively in this sketch, it was very pale (and still is), I even had to adjust the "level" a bit in Gimp.

200x1000 Newtonian from 167x, no filter.

I hope you like this one!

Thanks for looking.

Thank Ronl for the kind comment on my sketch, I am glad you find it well captured ?. For unknown reasons, I like that one, It's the result of me thinking small and simple. Small and simple but there was a result at the end of the day.  ?

Yessss!
