I set my alarm for 05.00 UT on Saturday 9th December so that I would be able to have a good hour of darkness for a meeting with the Moon. The morning was clear, cold and steady, perfect for some sketching. This very complex region on the terminator in the south-eastern section caught my eye, and I felt compelled to capture the drama onto paper as best I could in the time available.
