Image Details:

Now we see less and less lighted portion of the moon , as it has entered it's waning phase, and its closer to sunrise.
Intrigued at the moon's surface appearance, how dramatically it alters each time I observe and image, affects the colors too!
Quiet an interesting phase to image moon with so much of darker areas, as a learner, it has been so much fun with every frame it was interesting as well as challenging, ended up capturing 19 panels(yeah I know too much for this phase, but am learning)
