The Moon - 2020-03-05 23:24 UTC
3.3 day old moon, 11.4% illuminated.
This image was captured just 18 minutes after sunset. The live and unprocessed image looked good enough on the display that I thought I could get away taking an image before dark. I had some processing difficulties as a result of the sky not being completely dark. Lesson learned: wait for dark to image the Moon!
