Details:
From my morning trip into the desert, a 1.3% sliver moon rises behind the 4-meter Mayall telescope on Kitt Peak, in southern Arizona. This image was made 24 hours and 10 minutes ahead of tomorrow's new moon, so this crescent moon is 28.5 days old. This faint sliver dissolved into the dawn just a few minutes after rising.
Nikon D750, 500mm lens, 1/500 sec @ f5.6, 1600 ISO. I boosted the contrast a little to make the moon more visible.
