Sunset ove the Appenines and Eratosthenes

[Fraunhoffer]

Sketched early morning on 18 Jan 2020

The angle of the sun down the terminator made the Appenines light up like a white scar.
So much to see and I don't usually look at the waning moon this early.

Fascinating to see the shadows lengthen, whilst I sketched this,  as the sun was setting over the mountains.

Sketch is reversed L-R due to diagonal. Mixture of graphite pencils and charcoal pencils.

Hi,

Clear skies

Very well captured.

Great sketch. I like to sketch Lunar features but struggle when I'm sat in the cold looking into an eyepiece.

I have a little dim red clip on reading light that helps to see what I'm doing, and sit on a high stool.
