for the second day in a row i got up just before dawn to try to see a comet, and failed. so it’s now a grudge match. BUT i did take some nice pictures of the nearly-new moon that i turned into this composite image 🔭

moon mostly in shadow with bright detailed detailed strip of crescent and more muted colors of earthshine
