Based on the CDS forecast, I planned to get up at 4am and get images of crescent moon. When I got up, it was just clearing so I went ahead and setup. I got some reasonably good images before the sun started to come up. Wife thinks I'm crazy.

Forecast was good so I setup everything after supper, with the plan to get up at around 5am to view the moon before sunrise. I found it difficult to get a nice clear image in the camera tonight due to the low light level for this moon phase. I had the camera exposure all the up to 1/8sec ~ 1/4sec when normally I use around 1/30sec. The resulting images are blurred a bit by the atmosphere and tracking error, plus then are noisier than other images I’ve been able to capture in the past. It was otherwise a lovely evening.
