Moon sketched through Nexstar 5i at low magnification on July 1 2008; a 32mm plossl producing 40 X, Initially through broken clouds.
The sketch was produced on 20" X 24" Canson Mi Tientes blue paper with medium tooth texture. Pastel chalks include snow white in square stick form for much of the lunar features outlines, some antiques as Sargent brand in paper wrapped round in a pale cream yellow-white. Again, the final colors as a rust or burnt sienna in square stick form were used to render the buildings roofs and clouds lit by the moonlight.
Jupiter was added as the bright star-like object to the east of the moon. Although the lunar image is reversed in the Cassegrain, I have placed it in the scene as it would appear to the wide field view as naked eye with surrounding ambient panorama.
The ambient surrounding environment within the inner city of industrial Portland Oregon was added for aesthetic effect and depth as it appeared under the moonlight nearby the area where I sketched from.
The image was featured in NASA's Spaceweather.com
