Crescent Moon

I made a naked eye observation of the waxing crescent Moon (6.74 days old) on January 6, 2006 at 04:20 U.T. The Moon was approximately 6.5 degrees above the western horizon with the presence of thin, wispy clouds which added an eerie effect to the scene. It was a very impressive sight. I made a digital rendition of what I observed. I hope that you all like it.
