Moon Terminator

[Lurcher]

I don't know if I'm also allowed to post this here. (I've just posted it on the #23 terminator imaging challenge).

But wanted to also say hello on the sketching forum.

The forecast was for clear skies last night, but it turned out to be quite cloudy with the odd clear spot in-between. My Wife had gone out in the car so I was limited to our back garden, but I had seen the challenge and thought that would be a great opportunity to have a go.

I didn't use any alignment due to the clouds, so I had to keep manually moving the scope to keep the same view, and then waiting for the clouds to clear, but at least my scope seemed to be behaving quite nicely after my last adjustments to the spring tensioner on the motor drive so I was pleased with that.

I added the text this morning after finding the area in Philip's Moon Observer's Guide.

Clear skies all.

That's a very ambitious sketch of the terminator and its beautifully executed.

Indeed.  Very nicely done.
