About this image

Lunar sketch from an observation on 14th July using my Bresser reflector telescope in Maria Alm, Austrian Alps. The sketch was made using Derwent 2H, H and B graphic pencils. I’m just starting out observing the moon and have really learnt a lot about this crater complex. My knowledge of the moon grows daily and so many unanswered questions about the moon remain.

Wonderful sketch! One of my favourite areas of the Moon.

I find I see a lot more detail when I sketch an object as it forces me to concentrate on the details. The main problem I find is too much detail to faithfully sketch with my limited ability.

Andy, Thank you. I enjoyed making this sketch very much, but I am only starting out although I have learnt a lot about sketching already. It’s great to receive some very encouraging comments. I am looking forward to seeing the moon, so I can begin observing again and sketching. In the meantime I have ordered some extras for my telescope, which I’m looking forward to using.
