Do amateur photos of the bright crater Aristarchus show the details of old drawings?

[Roger E. Moore]

In my searches of old articles in arXiv and SAO NASA and elsewhere, I came across three old articles from astronomy publications that show carefully done drawings of the bright lunar crater Aristarchus. My telescope needs to be cleaned out, so I was wondering meantime if anyone's observations or photos show the level of detail, correct or not, of the same crater. Do the drawings seem to be accurate? It's odd we've become so focused on looking at NASA photos of the Moon and not our own observations of the same. Hope to get my own mirror cleared and ready to go soon.

Robinson, L. J.
Describes the observational aspects of Aristarchus crater band system. From observations under nearly perfect conditions Robinson has found that the bands of Aristarchus are not internally homogeneous, but are composed of untold numbers of filaments as well as light and dark nodules. Includes author's map based on approximately 25 drawings and photographs secured by Robinson in 1957-60.

Roger, I get no usable infomation from any of these links, only lists of abatracts?. What am I doing wrong?

Go to the right, click on the leftmost icon under Full Text Sources. There should be papers with pen illustrations.

Got them, all three. Thank you. As a long time reader of S&T, I enjoy looking at old drawings by astronomer's drawings and comparing them with photos.

Here is a good photo link(many phots!):
