Post-Eclipse Waxing Moon (August 23, 2017)
Post-Eclipse 2-Day-Old Moon.jpg
This is the first post-eclipse Moon I had a chance to see and shoot. This was August 23, 2017.
The very thin Moon would have been visible the night before, August 22, 2017, but from my location that night in Helena, Montana, on my trip back home from Idaho, the sky was too smoky. The Sun disappeared above the horizon into the smoke as a red ball. So there was little hope of sighting that first post-eclipse crescent of a 1.5-day-old Moon.
So this 2.5-day-old Moon, still in some haze, will have to do!
This is with the Canon 60Da and 200mm lens, the same combination I used to shoot the last waning Moon before the eclipse, at dawn from Idaho on August 20.
