Seeing was very poor for this. The planet was boiling violently,
probably due to a neighbour's bungalow. Why do they have to turn the
heating on in cold weather - I ask you!! ;-)

Never ceases to amaze me how bright it is naked eye from such a tiny little
cresent!

Amazing how it grow brighter as the crescent gets smaller due to the
fact that the apparent diameter is getting larger. Then, the peak is
reached and it dips. The crescent is a woderful sight in a telescope.
