Moon near the terminator Wednesday 13/03/19

[Lurcher]

Hi All,

Finally got out and did a bit of sketching again. (Also just been catching up on other brilliant sketches on here this morning).

I did a couple of my usual rough-and-ready sketches which I then tinted on the computer. (I quite liked the result of the tint! I might do that again, or use a coloured pencil next time).

I'm not sure of any crater names I'm afraid. I'm going to have a look at a moon map later and see if I can identify them). I know there were near the terminator on Wednesday evening the 13th March.

Cheers all.

Martin.

Hi Martin,

great lunar sketches! Thanks for sharing with us here.

Martin,

Nice sketches there, have a go at Naming the craters and labelling them with date/time/ phase/mag etc.  I started to do this a few months back and they really do look great when you have a nice bunch of them in a folder. (If you like that sort of thing)?

Thanks Mark. What you're doing there though is finding the great holes in my knowledge of what I'm looking at!  - I think it was a six day old moon on Wednesday? I recorded the date and time, (cropped out of the images), but I thought it would be fairly simple to identify what I was looking at afterwards, but I'm struggling! I'll try to identify them confidently over the weekend, but I spent 30 minutes trying yesterday without that final certainty.

But you're right I am definitely lacking on the information front.

I found them!

Sorry, this is going to be far more important to me than anyone else, but I was so pleased to be able to match my sketches up to a moon and photos.

Here's my annotated version of my sketches now sowing the crater names.

Great sketches. Noting what the craters were will be beneficial in the future. I sometimes get tied in knots trying to work out what I was looking at on the moon. Sometimes I have to check out the sketches or even sneak into the imaging section ? to find a picture to help work it out.

Thanks Paz. - And I'm so glad it's not just me. I thought the areas I'd chosen would be quite easy to identify, but it took me quite a while to find them.

The detail you have added really bring the drawings to life...great stuff!

Those are pretty sketches, especially as they appear in the notebook. Great!

Excellent sketches.
