Details:
On Saturday evening the 34 hour old, 1.8% illuminated, waxing crescent Moon briefly appeared through a gap in clouds before setting behind Christmas Pass at 6.31 pm. This was in the fading afterglow of another volcanic sunset which twenty minutes earlier had produced a spectacular twilight arch with radiating crepuscular rays which were so bright that the very young Moon could not be seen through them. It was lucky that my camera was pointed in the right direction to catch the Moon just before it disappeared below the horizon. Camera: Tripod-Mounted Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS40 in sunset mode.
