Chalk sketch of the first quarter moon in dusk

[acr_astro]

Dear all,

tonight I once again did a chalk sketch of the moon in dusk on dark blue mould-made pastel paper. It's a bit tricky to get the proper white balance and color temperature when taking the digital image of the sketch with the smart phone. I think I have somehow met the blue tone of the paper on the picture:

Telescope: TS 70/420 ED
Eyepiece: ExploreScientific 6.7mm/82°
Date & Time:  April 20th, 2021 / 2015-2100 CEST
Location: home terrace, Dusseldorf region, Germany
Technique: Koh-i-Noor chalk pen and kneadable eraser on dark blue Hahnemühle mould-made pastel paper

The large crater at the southern part of the terminator is Clavius. In the north in Mare Imbrium we have Timocharis at the terminator.

Clear and skies!
