Crescent Waning, Schickard on the edge.



Horizon hugging clouds didn't spoil the Moon watch this morning.

A quick setup of the Newtonian, a simple 25mm eyepiece and our old Samsung S6 phone returned a half decent view of the waning crescent.




Along the terminator, Schickard Nasmyth & Phocylides were easily spotted. 

No hint of Mare Orientale this time, I think the libration wasn't favourable, but even so the glare of the sunlight on the Moon's limb at this time would have probably ruled out any Orientale observations.
