Yesterday I had an amazing day at the Oxfordshire Home Ed Summer Camp. We did #LunarSketching of the #PtolemaeusTrio (+ one child drew an astronaut on the Moon!). When the clouds cleared loads of children & adults got to see the Moon through my telescope. Here's a collage of their awesome drawings #AstronomySketching #AstronomyOutreach #MoonSketching #PastelArt #SpaceArt #PastelDrawing #Moon

Gosh, how is it 4yrs ago that I won the NSO image of the month with my #PastelSketch of the #PtolemaeusTrio, sketched from a photo taken by the Liverpool Telescope? My prize was a fab 12"x12" canvas print of it :D #AstronomySketching #AstronomyArt #SpaceArt
