Howdy all;
I traveled to the Dirt Blvd. site about 75 miles west of Phoenix, about =
12
miles SW of the Palo Verde power plant. I did not take any photos, but =
the
thin Moon was easy in my 8X42 binoculars at 7:22 and I saw it naked eye =
at
7:38. There was some low haze that made the background a medium
yellow-orange color. It had been a while since I had chased such a thin
crescent, I had forgotten how fascinating that view can be. I estimated =
the
crescent at 120 degrees in the Nexstar 11 with a 27mm eyepiece. There =
were
several breaks in the crescent.
Lots of fun;
Steve Coe

After viewing my pictures, I hereby revise my estimate of the length of =
the
crescent downward to 90 degrees.
