Hi all,
Here's one of the two lunar sketches that appeared in the US June 2016 edition of Sky & Telescope, Magnius.
This piece was one of four done on four consecutive nights - a stretch of nights and sketching that I haven't done before. And three of these nights threw up good seeing, particularly for Magnius, and the fourth required a bit of magnification compromise, which proved a great experience too.
You'll find a more extensive write up on Magnius in my astro sketching blog - a link to it is in my signature.
