It will only be an 18-hour moon at sunset on the 19th Feb, can't get much more challenging than that!

Got it :laugh: 18 hours 53 mins, 0.8% illumination... as Keith said above, assisted by the more favourable angle of the ecliptic to the horizon at this time of year -

Well done on seeing the young moon. I tried this evening but the cloud would not co-operate, I had to settle for the Venus-Mars conjunction. With the moon joining the pair over the next couple of nights will make it interesting.

18h 32 mins? You win! : cheer:

It was actually raining at sunset so I was fortunate to get anything at all.
