Scarface Petavius

[Roel]

On Februari 7 the sky was clear and the Moon was already quite high in the southeast, so I dragged the 16" Propdob out of the workshop and set it up in the backyard.
It was freezing cold and the seeing was only moderate. A magnification of 178x was about the maximum achievable.
The beautiful crater Petavius however was just perfectly illuminated by the sun. The large crack in the crater floor was striking, but due to the poor seeing, the smaller cracks (Rimae Petavius) unfortunately remained invisible.
Nonetheless, the view was nice enough to pick up the good old pastel pencils. I hadn't made a lunar sketch in months, so it was about time.

75 minutes later, this was the final result:
