Lunar crater Plato in deep shadow
Sketch and Details by Giorgio Bonacorsi
Hi sketchers,all o.k.?
Last week, after bad weather days, the sky was clear and i decide to use my refractor 80/1000 for Crescent Moon. I placed my refractor in front of my home and the Moon was just over the trees, in this moment is very low but i can’t help drawing it.
I observe in eyepiece at 47,6x and decide to use 6mm lantanium for Plato and i made this sketch.
I hope you like it.
At next,clear sky at all.
Ciao,Giorgio.
