Moon Venus conjunction 2011-11-27 – 5 PM Local Time
Object Name (Moon, Venus)
Object Type (conjunction)
Location (Rocbaron Provence France)
Date (2011-11-27 5PM Local Time)
Media (graphite pencil and watercolour)
Material (Newton telescope 114/500 25x for the moon and naked eyes)
I climbed during half an hour with a light telescope on my back to reach the St Sauveur Mountain close to Rocbaron. This is a fantastic position. I can see the Med from the Golden Islands Porqueroles and Port-Cros to the Toulon surroundings and the sunset.
After sketching the landscape with a graphite pencil, I place the Moon and Venus. Then through my telescope I sketched the new born moon.
The home work was to colour the sketch and adds Venus and the moon reduced to the correct size on my digital watercolour.
The full adventure is described on a small youtube animation: http://youtu.be/d8kSZefO7w0
Thanks to you all
