Details:
At 5.48 pm on Tuesday 21st July, the very young waxing crescent Moon (twenty two and a quarter hours old) first appeared close to the crest of a ridge at the foot of Transmitter Hill just over half an hour after the Sun had set at almost the same location. The very thin crescent was not visible to the naked eye above the post-sunset glare and could only be seen in the camera viewfinder. Once located some still images were taken and the very thin Moon was recorded setting behind some power lines and indigenous Musasa trees on the skyline as shown in the lead x10 speed time-lapse animation. This was a lucky catch as it was cloudy at sunset and the window of opportunity for seeing the Moon was less than ten minutes. Camera: Tripod mounted Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ60 in sunset and night scenery modes.
