Pythagoras was and the light there was optimal. I sketched it and outlined the nearby Babbage with my 12 cm f/8 refractor @ 100. This small instrument was sufficient beacause of the not so steady air and the low moon.

The glacis and wall detail you've captured is wonderful, and I love the way you rendered the two horned central peak and shadow. Superb!
