For the last few days transparency has been very good here. On Saturday I was doing yard work and look up and saw a 19% waning cresent. Well today I was doing some more yard work I thought about when I saw the moon a few days earlier. Knowing about where the moon would be a took out my binoculars and scanned the sky with the corner of house blocking glare from the Sun. Within seconds I spotted the 4% waning cresent. This is a first for me, so out comes the TSA-102 and digital camera for some afocal shots.

Here are 2 images I took.
