Waxing Crescent

This isn't my greatest shot of the moon and after this was taken I did have a fantastic sighing of the moon as I went to collect Johnny from Karate but unfortunately I had no camera on me!

There are various different points in the cycle with the full moon being on the 18 October......so I am gonna see how many nights this week I can see the moon and how many times I can blip and see if my shots get better as the week goes on!
