Chalk-/charcoal sketch of Damoiseau area

Dear all,

yesterday evening I had to wait some hours until the cloud cover vanished and I could start observing the moon. When "travelling" along the terminator a strange "nested" crater drew my attention. When looking up in my lunar atlas, I figured out its name is Damoiseau. SInce I used the focal extender together with the 6.7 eyepiece, it ended up in a continous sequence of push - sketch - push - sketch - (...) to keep the crater in the eyepiece. It's nice to observe the details of smaller craters with diameter of just 20 miles but it gets a bit hectic for sketching. However, here's the result:

Clear skies!
