Then Mare Serenitatis with it shadowed ridges. I just learned from checking my moon charts that Apollo 17 landed there in 1972 at the eastern most corner of the mare. The whole moon image was sketched in as naked eye rather than inverted through the telescope. Other surrounding details were roughly added. A close-up landscape was decided lastly today. Telescope used: 10.1" Coulter f/4.5 Newtonian with 32mm plossl and 9.7mm plossl Seeing was at first medium 6~7/10 with light wind at 10PM PDT June 27th improving to 8~ 9/10 by midnight June 28th. Stonehenge black pastel paper 22" X 30" with various pastels and Conte hard white chalk. Mark www.markseibold.com My CN Gallery *I edited again today with another attempt to a better photograph for the pastel to remove the over-blue tone from north daylight. It would be beneficial if we could allow a slightly larger image to show finer details- As the screen never looks like the original artwork [to my eyes] -Mark Edited by markseibold (06/30/09 10:06 PM) Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on Lunar Terminator- Catharina, Cyrillus, Theophilus markseibold 06/28/09 06:20 PM Re: Lunar Terminator- Catharina, Cyrillus, Theophilus rodelaet   07/04/09 12:05 PM Re: Lunar Terminator- Catharina, Cyrillus, Theophilus markseibold   07/04/09 03:54 PM Re: Lunar Terminator- Catharina, Cyrillus, Theophilus Michael11   07/04/09 04:56 PM Re: Lunar Terminator- Catharina, Cyrillus, Theophilus markseibold   07/06/09 11:38 AM Re: Lunar Terminator- Catharina, Cyrillus, Theophi kraterkid   06/28/09 07:35 PM Re: Lunar Terminator- Catharina, Cyrillus, Theophi markseibold   06/29/09 12:14 PM Re: Lunar Terminator- Catharina, Cyrillus, Theophi mike bacanin   06/29/09 04:17 PM Re: Lunar Terminator- Catharina, Cyrillus, Theophi markseibold   06/30/09 01:32 PM Re: Lunar Terminator- Catharina, Cyrillus, Theophi CarlosEH   07/01/09 01:15 PM Re: Lunar Terminator- Catharina, Cyrillus, Theophi markseibold   07/02/09 03:37 AM Re: Lunar Terminator- Catharina, Cyrillus, Theophi frank5817   06/30/09 02:08 AM Re: Lunar Terminator- Catharina, Cyrillus, Theophi rolandlinda3   06/30/09 12:55 PM Extra information 1 registered and 0 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
