Linda was too tired to sketch, but enjoyed the time since I was able to sketch from the living room. Part of the joy of astro-video is that I can set up outside (it was chilly 50 degrees) but run the video-out from the setup to an HDTV inside. Other than correcting the scene position every so often, I could sketch from inside.

I watched this one through a full lunation before I sketched it earlier this year. You chose a great time for your drawing. At its northern latitude the terminator does not move so fast as I am sure you already know, so the sketch can be completed in a very relaxed mode. This is a fine crater in the early sunlight as you so aptly have demonstrated.

I know the feeling of having to erase a couple of times before being able to get started. Wonderful work. -------------------- Rich My CN Gallery Post Extras:       perfessor sage Reged: 12/30/07 Posts: 499 Loc: Northern Illinois Re: Babbage [Re: kraterkid]       #3311752 - 09/02/09 10:04 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Very nice Roland, I always enjoy your efforts. -------------------- Tom "Don't always know what I'm talkin about" 8" f/7 Post Extras:       rolandlinda3 Carpal Tunnel Reged: 01/24/06 Posts: 2233 Loc: Crozet VA 22932 Re: Babbage [Re: perfessor]       #3311841 - 09/02/09 10:50 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Thank you for the comments. We have a real cool spell here in Virginia, so the late evenings have been wet and chilly, but the "seeing" is decent. -------------------- Roland Sketches in members galleries: rolandlinda3 Inspirational stories/sketches at: www.christworksministries.org Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 1 registered and 0 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
