Dear all,

after a long working day in the office I was first too tired to go out for lunar observation and sketching. But when sitting on the sofa and reading for a while, I couldn't resist and set up my small ED on the terrace.The 6.5 day old moon was already just 10° above the horizon and just a bit above the houses in the neighbourhood. At the terminator the three craters Aristoteles, Eudoxus and Alexander drew my attention. So I picked up my sketching stuff. This time I tried something new and just took a single, white pastel pen.

Here's the result:
