I woke at 6.30am, and spotted a lovely crescent moon in the brightening dawn sky.  Dressed quickly and dashed outside with the SW 72ED. 

A beautiful sight, especially having had such poor weather since returning from Kelling about three weeks ago.

A nice terminator with Bailly the largest crater nearest the end of the S limb. After observing I took a quick single frame with the Olympus E-M5 Mk 11 at 6.56 am, 1/200 sec at 500 asa. 

Only a few minutes later the Moon was absorbed into the bright dawn sky.

Thank you Mike, I hope we can get together for an observing session before too long - and before the snow sets in for the winter 😁.
