It will only be an 18-hour moon at sunset on the 19th Feb, can't get much more challenging than that!

Got it :laugh: 18 hours 53 mins, 0.8% illumination... as Keith said above, assisted by the more favourable angle of the ecliptic to the horizon at this time of year -

Well done on seeing the young moon. I tried this evening but the cloud would not co-operate, I had to settle for the Venus-Mars conjunction. With the moon joining the pair over the next couple of nights will make it interesting.

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning.

18h 32 mins? You win! : cheer:

It was actually raining at sunset so I was fortunate to get anything at all.
