The Daedalus crater is not listed on my moon map. Can you post the photo of it and or let me know what is around it?

Found it! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daedalus_(crater)It's not on my map because it's near the center on the far side of the moon. That will probably be the location for a radio telescope. Maybe they will use one of the craters like they did with Arecibo. Apollo 11 photographed it.

Hey Sherlew! Ya know what might be the best crater to draw a picture of? No, which one? Shorty Crateren.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shorty_(crater)I wonder if it is the most colorful place on the moon? There is just one interesting thing after another about this crater. To be able to include them all in drawing with a write up about them would be awesome.

These are the drawing supplies that I bought today. That removable mounting putty (I think the Canadians call it ticky tack) is not going to be used for its intended purpose. It's a drawing hack that I learned about this morning from a YouTube video. That mini two tray storage box is the best thing that I came across so far for storing my pencils and sketching supplies in. It was only $2 something. I'll find out soon how well it does. That is the book that I got from Five Below for $5. It has in it the first astronomical drawing that I'm going to try an draw.

I got a gift card today and I am going to send for a few art supplies that I can't get locally and one of the VERY FEW books on this subject.

I just placed my order with Amazon. Got some good stuff comein I hope. One of the things I ordered was a good brand name clutch pencil and a pack of 2mm 4B leads. The amount of my order went over what was on my card so I had to remove an item and what I removed was the pack of 2mm 4B leads. I still need them and will either get them on a future order or I may pick them up around here.

It looks like a good one. I hope you have some good stuff in your order and that you can get all the supplies you need, too.

There is another book by the same person about drawing the moon that I also want to get but can't get now because these books are so expensive.
