Mike JW Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I have waited for five months to get crater Peary as lies very close to the Lunar North Pole. I had to wait for a clear spell and a decent libration. It was well worth the wait. Apparently some of its well worn mountain peaks are in permanent daylight. (Peary was a polar explorer). This sketch completes my Lunar 100 tour - all objects sketched. Do I now work my way through the Lunar 200? Probably not as I have so many other astro journeys that I wish to pursue. This may well be my 'swan song' - I shall see............ Scoresby is the bottom crater, then Challis/Main, chunky Byrd and finally Peary which blends into Florey on the right. Proportions/perspective not quite right. Mike 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShrewView Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Wow that's great, and quite an achievement to sketch the whole 100! Well done. Do you have them all together in a sketchpad or book? I recently decided to copy all my sketches (not that I have many so far) into one book. Maybe the messier or caldwell lists next? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike JW Posted October 29, 2020 Author Share Posted October 29, 2020 I have scanned them all into a document as a record of my journey. The best ones I have put into folder, along with other DSO sketches. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
