Moon Observation on 8/23

Tonight, the moon was very easy to locate. From my observation, I could tell the moon is almost a complete half moon. Below is the picture I captured. The moon gave off an odd reflection, so the moon in the picture appears different than what my naked eye observed.

Observation on 8/19/12

Today, I still could not locate the moon. I searched for it approximately at 8:15 p.m. The sky was more clear tonight than yesterday, and I was able to see a couple bright objects that were either stars or planets. If I could seen the moon, it would still be in a thin crescent.


Observation on 8/18/12

Today was really cloudy, so I could not locate the actual moon. Below is the picture I captured of the sky. The only thing I could see was a dark black sky with some illuminations coming through in some locations. If I could have seen the moon, it should have been a very small start of a crescent.
