PCW Memorial Observatory – Erika Rix

From 2005 05 17:
Bullialdus is approx. 63km wide but the height is around 10,600 feet. The central mountain was not visible due to the shadow, and really, I can’t recall seeing rays either with the ETX, however, when Paul was done with the big fella, I took a peak with that scope using just the 8mm Plossl and saw a detailed inner wall on the West as well as beautiful ridges running up the Eastern outer side. The vivid texture between the four craters in the sketch was amazing.

The second larger sketch of Bullialdus was done with the 10″ LX200 in November.
