I made this pastel sketch of crater Copernicus from my backyard in Deventer, The Netherlands. It was very cold (15,8F) but the seeing was pretty good. I observed from 18.00UT till 19.00UT. Sketch is made with white pastel on black paper. The telescope I used was my old 3″ f/16 Polarex/Unitron refractor.
Clear skies,

Roel,
An impressive sketch of the crater at the terminator with beautiful fine detail.

A supreme effort. Well done. I particularly like the tonal range I find most sketches that start out on black remain too dark and those that start on white remain too light. You have bridged the gap. Well done. Most impressive.
