Bobby Shafto | 17 and 1/2 Hour Old Moon, Waxing Crescent @bobshafto | Uploaded March 2024 | Updated October 2024, 15 hours ago.
I was on the hunt for the new waxing crescent moon, about 30 minutes after sunset, hoping to catch a glimpse through a narrow break in the clouds. I did not see it at all, either with the naked eye or in the display on my camera.
Wasn't until I looked at the footage and noticed that I had, in fact, captured the thin sliver of the moon, about 0.1% illuminated, barely penetrating the fading orangey civil twilight.
Even though I didn't see it, it was right where Mooncalc predicted.
