Crater Wargentin, number 43 on the Lunar 100 list, isn't flashy at all. But the fact that he's almost filled to the rim with lava makes it a remarkable feature. Wargentin is rather a plateau than a depression! 2/3 of the rim has the same height than the crater floor. Probably the lava overflowed the crater. That must have been a hell of a show. Charles Wood sees in Phocylides and Nasmyth "the sole and heel of a shoe". Well in that case I see in the round smaler crater the mark of a walking-stick Post Extras:       astronz59 sage Reged: 09/15/10 Loc: Auckland, New Zealand Re: Crater Wargentin [Re: Jef De Wit]       #5457467 - 10/06/12 05:20 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Amazing Jeff, this is an excellent drawing with an almost photographic quality to it! Your lunar work is improving all the time!

Wargentin is truly an overflowing cup. Keep up the fine sketches.

It works well!

I'm sketching the Moon now with some gray-pastels instead of only black/white pencils and it works really fine.
