Equipment Details:

Gskyer Telescopic lens with iPhone 11 camera

Post-processing Details:

Added a filter to enhance the "earth-shine" part of the crescent moon.

Image Details:

I saw this glorious waxing crescent moon (9%) as it made its descent behind the tree line after sunset . Since the last full moon (Jan 28th, 2021), the crescent moon (both waning and waxing) has been rising and setting in a sunlit sky. It was not even visible until now because it was out-glowed by the sun.
