Just past full now, into waning gibbous. I've been meaning to start getting more waning phase pics of the Moon, because it's interesting seeing the crater shadows from a reverse angle -- one rarely sees them that way, so everything looks weird and new. Usually you're seeing the craters on the *other* edge of Mare Crisium in a very new crescent. Another low-contrast / high-contrast pair for you; this new switch-to-the-other-camera-just-as-we-lock-in-focus-and-exposure algorithm means I'm pulling that nice, bright, crisp image from the very last frame or two before things go completely black. 🙄 No Jupiter this evening; I'd forgotten, we're almost to Christmas, it's setting earlier and earlier and will soon slip behind the Sun. 😕 #iphoneastrophotography #lunarphotography #waninggibbous #waningphases #marecrisium https://www.instagram.com/p/CXugNx8lxJE/?utm_medium=tumblr

As usual, the new crescent Moon doesn't offer much for the iPhone camera to go on, but here's a detail shot, a terminator shot, and an Earthshine shot. Mare Crisium fits almost perfectly into the curve of the crescent right now. Cleomedes is the crater to the north of it. The big chunk in the terminator to the south is probably Metius. #lunarphotography #iphoneastrophotography #marecrisium #cleomedescrater #metiuscrater #newcrescent #earthlight https://www.instagram.com/p/CQFO0i5l06E/?utm_medium=tumblr

Hello, Mare Crisium. Hello waxing crescent. Hello earthshine. It’s cool to think that light from the Sun hits Earth and reflects to illuminate the dark part of the Moon, which reflects it back to my eyes so I can actually pick out Mare Frigoris and Oceanus Procellarum. Also, a full Earth on the Moon is something like seventy times brighter than the full Moon. More Moon pics for the next week or two! #marecrisium #marefrigorum #waxingcrescent #earthshine #iphoneastrophotography #Moon #lunarphotography #20xbinoculars https://www.instagram.com/p/CO38RAxFGpD/?igshid=1ia25adaxj27u
