The Crater Gassendi
Sketch made on Moon day 11
Sketched with white and black charcoal on black paper at the eyepiece over 30 mins between 20h and 21h UT. Again, the sketch was started before the fall of darkness which makes the initial outlining of the main elements on the paper somewhat easier. It was a dramatic sight in the low, slanting light at the Terminator. The terraces on the the crater walls were visible at times though no detail on the surface of the central plain was evident in the conditions.
