Description:
Our Moon at its (nearly) fullest. This observation was made after a rainy day, so the atmosphere was soaking wet, making the Moon lit the whole entire night sky. As this was making virtually any deep-sky observation impossible, I decided to sketch the Moon. It took about an hour or more, and turned out to be an extremely difficult quest. Although there were many tiny details visible in my telescope, it is just impossible to sketch them all with the low resolution that rather small FoV circle of my observation log sheet permits. Small white dots, little domes and mountains, tiny bays... just can't sketch them all.
