For the first time since I'm sketching, I can honestly give a 5/5 observing condition. Man it was clear. I was able to see so much details on the surface, the granulation was so clear and detailed. That was beautiful. But after a while once I started to do the close up, I lost a bit of stability. The proms were so clear during my full disk sketch. Andre.

It's difficult to say because every single one of your drawings is special. But yet I think this is the best ever. Perhaps because you had such a clear day? But in any case, the structures you've drawn, the shear amount of detail... it's just incredible!

But just to make things clear, I didn't say it's my best one but my best observing conditions. I was able to see very small details I not necessarly represented in my sketch such as very small darker regions and dots on the surface that I don't see usually. The granulation was so clear.
