Details:
On Wednesday 25th the very thin crescent Moon (31 hours old) was seen setting behind the summit of Murahwa Mountain close to the where the Sun had gone down about an hour earlier (lead mosaic). Although the sky was almost clear save for a lone dark cloud above the mountain, a strongly colored sunset twilight arch developed half an hour after sunset which was so bright (second mosaic) that it prevented the young Moon from appearing above the glare until it was quite close to the horizon. As the glow from the arch faded the Moon became more clearly visible and it was possible to take photographs of the very thin crescent descending behind and reappearing from under the lone cloud. Camera: Tripod-mounted Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ60 in sunset and manual modes.
