Drew this at 3:00am last night/this morning. Interesting how more "stuff" becomes visible after looking a while though I'm sure increasing distance from the horizon was a factor. Drawing getting a *little* easier though had to do this one twice to get the positions & proportions better, still maybe not quite right. Need more practice!

Paul,

Attached is an image from a little later on this morning. In your drawing Solis Lacus is just "around the corner".

I use imaging to help me see more. Usually take a short avi file (200 frames or so), align, stack and have an image in less than 5 minutes. I then use this image and attempt to try to see all features. I'd imagine drawing will help to see more as well. Like you said, the longer you stare at it, the more you see. A prime example is Ron [B]ee with his "lightcup" and what he has been able to see and sketch.

Regards,

Angel
