The pre-dawn Moon in Taurus

An early morning dispatch from Felton Davis of the Second Avenue Star Watchers ... the top photo of the waning Moon was taken from Third Street ... with another shot with some of the Moon's features...
Per Felton: "The waning moon is weird in the early morning, all flipped over from its usual early evening waxing position. Out in the country, the famous Pleiades cluster would be visible just a few degrees over from the moon, but at street level here in NYC they are not."

    This is great. Could it be a regular feature? Maps to the stars' homes EV style.

    Not enough room on EV Grieve, though he (they, it) has been very generous with space. For more photos, see

    Love the waning moon. It's in a dark sky, where the moon belongs, unlike that pretentious waxing moon, always trying to take on the sun.
