40-hour old moon

[Andrew*]

I had to walk a bit to find a suitably low horizon to catch a setting young moon. This was taken after 10pm on 4th May, 40 hours after new moon. At this point, the moon was just 3° in altitude!

Was just visible naked eye, and a beautiful slender arc in binoculars.

It was well worth the walk Andrew, and the result is excellent.

All the ingredients blend so well to make a lovely shot.
