I'll describe this later today in detail as I was inspired with the gibbous moon obscurred by clouds last night over the city foreground. I observed the moon through a Nexstar 5i to record an impression of most of the surface details.
This is a large 20 X 24" format pastel sketch on blue Mi Tientes paper that I still consider as unfinished. -Mark
*** I added Jupiter to the left of the moon last night (a day after the original sketch) for the posting to Spaceweather.com today July 17th 2008 (I will not post this version to the sketching forum as technically I have embellished the work as of now- You are seeing the earlier un-edited version without Jupiter in the sketching forum.)
(Also note that the moon is appearing as backwards in the rendering of the naked eye sky as this is the way I observed and sketchd it throught the cassegrain telescope and not the way it actually appears to the eye in the sky- M >
