For all moon-painters, “The Police” and Sting song:
”
Giant steps are what you take
Walking on the moon
I hope my legs don’t break
Walking on the moon
We could walk forever
Walking on the moon
We could live together
Walking on, walking on the moon
”
It is very nice to walk with You guys! π
Aleksander,
Very impressive sketch as the moon approached first quarter. The difference in crater depth between the Aristillus/ Autolycus pair with dark floors and the shallower Cassini is very well demonstrated.

Hi Olek,
Beautiful Moon sketch. As usually perfect drawn.
I want you to teach me, perhaps at some rally?
Marek referred even to famous Sting’s hit.
