I observed the moon on 9/19. The moon was very beautiful tonight. The moon was in a waxing phase. Even though the moon was in a slight crescent shape, you could see the sun reflecting around the edges of the whole moon.
The moon has been very difficult to locate lately. Tonight I located the moon around 7:30. Below is a picture of my observation. The moon seems to be in the waxing phase.
The last couple of days, I have noticed the moon rising a lot later in the night. Below in my drawing, you can see that the moon is still continuing with the wanning stages.
The sky was slightly cloudy tonight, but the moon was still visible. It looks as if the moon's visibility is getting smaller. Below is the picture I observed.
