Description:
A thin crescent Moon aged 15 hours and 18 minutes. I was waiting for so long to try this shoot. Some of the best conditions were present: - The moon was about 7 degrees from the Sun - The Moon was close to Perigee (it would have reached it on August 21st) - Good visibility on the horizon I tried to shoot without using computer tools to point at the Moon so I only used the camera mounted on a normal tripod. I didn't see the Moon with the naked eye but I knew the Moon would have passed in front of my lens at 8 o'clock (from my position). And so it was: processing the image I managed to get the very thin sickle. On the August 18, at dawn, I also took the thin crescent Moon 20 minutes before sunrise.
