Wow Folks! I'm getting Schillers running up and down my spine. It just keeps getting better.

Rich! Don't be SILLY! I think your Schiller sketch is glorious. Isn't it grand how all three of us captured the essence but with our own unique style?

Look at the 3 different kinds of execution strokes that were used by these artists to make these Schiller sketches.
This is the Schiller thriller.

Jeremy,
Superb sketch. The 4 of you could probably work together on a moonscape sketch atlas of old luna, publish it, retire and live happily ever after.

What fun Sally! Thanks for taking the time to put together this montage--very cool to see those sketches together. I like seeing that bright ridge at the north end of Schiller that is so prominent in all the sketches. Well done, everyone.

Now where is Erika? Erika has a beautiful one of Schiller that would fit in here wonderfully. Eric, did you do one of Schiller? Wouldn't this make a cool montage of sketching for ASOD as well?

Hi everyone! Sorry I'm late for the party, but I've had my hands full plus am still recovering from NEAF.

Here's my Schiller!!!! I don't have a larger scan of it, but if needed I could dig out my old hard copy and rescan so that it doesn't get pixelated when enlarged.

Beautiful sketches everyone.

That would be great Erika! I think it would look fabulous when uploaded to the montage. Looks like NEAF was really fun. It was wonderful seeing Sol and you had a chance to meet! Only wish I could have been there!

Rich,

Depending on when your sketch was done, we now have a collection of sketches over at least a three year period, ranging from Day 10 to Day 12, and at different librations. Pretty neat.

Thanks on behalf of all of us Dietmar!

Michael, I used VMA and discovered that the libration for my sketch was pretty favorable at around 5 degrees (it was done Dec 31, 2006). Not the best, but pretty close. I agree wholeheartedly with your wife, this would make a wonderful ASOD submission!

Evening everybody!

Erika, thank you for your Schiller sketch. I've re-scaled it and added it in to the montage, and I think it just about gets away without being too pixellated, but if you're unhappy with it then please do send me your re-scan and I'll re do. This is looking really good now! Does anyone have a final Schiller to fill the gap?

Rich, I'll annotate the final image (once I'm sure we have it) with names, dates etc. and send it on to you for ASOD as a joint submission from us all. Thanks again everyone for not minding me playing around with your lovely sketches - this has turned into a grand project

I did, last December, but I wasn't quite satisfied with it so I never posted it. If you're interested in it, here it is...
