During the first week of August we had a series of clear-ish evenings and I ended each one by grabbing a quick set of images of the waning crescent moon. Each picture was taken at about 5 o’clock and shows the terminator sweeping across the vast expanse of Oceanus Procellarum on the morning of August 1^st through the 4th.
