Canon 7D

17th of October 210mm F/5.6 1/30s ISO100

This photo was taken on the 16th of October in Cunnamulla, central Queensland by my partner visiting her family. I was 8 hours away but i recall the Moon being tremendously bright that night, my partner thinking she would snap a photo of it just to look back at the phone a few days later and see two moons instead of one. these were taken with an Iphone 14, is this a lense flare of somekind?

Hello! I just found r/moon and wanted to share a photo I took of the partial eclipse on September 17, 2024. The image has poor quality because it was taken from a mobile phone. Still, I hope you enjoy the capture.

Happy Halloween! Normally when you think of Halloween you think of a spooky full orange moon that just rose above the horizon. However, today the moon is about as new as it can be. Technically, it’s still in a waning crescent phase with the new moon occurring tomorrow morning.

During the day, I was planning on looking up at the sky to see if I could spot the thin crescent. But I was running some errands and forgot, and now the moon has just about set this afternoon, which made me bummed. But my question is, would I have been able to see it? I know it would’ve involved looking at or near the sun which is not good. I also know in the early waxing phase two days from now it’ll be easier to spot since the sun will be down. But for those of you who are in the central to pacific time zones of the US, is it possible for you to currently see the moon at its current phase?
