The moon is 4.6 days old - waxing crescent.

This photo is a montage of seven stills taken from two .avi movie clips.
The .avi's exceeded 200Mb, but provided many clear frames which "bypassed" the atmospheric seeing apparent on that night.

The photo has been rotated a little to maintain a vertical aspect.
