1.8 Percent
The moon sets at 6:27 PM 11/30/2016, this was taken at 6:15 my EXIF I guess has not done the daylight savings time saying it was taken at 45 minutes after setting, at 1.8 percent illumination I am going to say this is the smallest I can shoot the moon, Waxing Crescent. I know it will not mean much to most but for the Nikon Coolpix P510 and no tripod it was a feat to be hold for me, as my quest to catch the smallest moon phase I could, stick a fork in this it is done.
