Details:
This one was for the early birds, between around 4am local time. But it was definitely worth it!
Early this morning (June 23rd) a waning Moon crescent could be seen right next to the Pleiades.
I wasn't sure this could be seen from Paris, but despite the light pollution my camera managed to capture the scene along with the Eiffel Tower. I write "my camera" as it was quite difficult to see to the naked eye, even with a small pair on binoculars. The stars were faint due to the low altitude of the scene, and then due the brightening sky.
