Meade LX 90 FL 2000mm
35mm eyepiece = 57X
Dec 1st 2008 - Greystones Co Wicklow
Still Freezing
15:20UT
Pastels/Conte on FineArt Pastel Velour Paper
15:35 - 17:10 approx too cold to time with any great regard
As it got darker more and more detail became visible on the crescent moon.
Between finishing the Venus vanishing sketch and the reemergence of Venus
I put as much lunar detail as possible in the time and under the conditions as I could.
The view as Venus once again sparkled like a diamond stuck on the moon was stunning.
I quickly place the Planet as accurately as I could and then continued to enjoy the view
along with the guy's , awesome. I took one pic with my camera which has a few gremlins within and a few with my mobile phone which turned out much to my surprise and delight.
Will post on the Astrophotography forum sometime later .

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning.

Just seen this on Cloudynights Dee, a beautiful rendering, will you be showing the other pair on this site?
I liked your story about the sketch almost escaping you.:laugh:
