I assume you meant "waning" crescent... The moon a planetary body? Is there another planetary status proposal I haven't read yet? Sorry Kurt, I couldn't resist! ;o) BTW, the earthshine this AM was especially strong...I wonder what the earth's cloud-cover percentage was at the time, on the daylight hemisphere? Or maybe I've just been eating more carrots lately? --- Canopus56 <canopus56@yahoo.com> wrote:
Yes, tomorrow morning between 5:30am and 6:15 am will be special. In addition to the 1 1/2 day waxing crescent before the new Moom on the 23rd, 4 planetary bodies will be within 4 1/2 degs (in order of rising):
Venus Moon Saturn and last - Mercury
It will make for a good wide-field astrophoto opportunity.
