Moon Wednesday 6th May 2020

Really low Moon last night; any lower and it would have been stuck in the tree branches!

I've learnt that if you have a low light photograph and you put the saturation up high in Photoshop, it pixelates it and gives a groovy 'orange peel' effect!

Time 20:30.
Distance 223,538 miles.
Waxing gibbous phase.
120 degrees SE compass point (azimuth).
Altitude 7.7 degrees.
