Moonrise over the Toronto skyline the day before the new Moon
On 06/24/2025 04:48 am by Steven Sweet | Website | Toronto
At just less then 2% illuminated I was busy scanning the sky hoping to capture the thin waning crescent just after 4 am this morning. After around 15 minutes that seemed like an hour I found a faint thin crescent in the sky. It came up at 50° degrees northeast heading towards the Toronto CN tower at 54° northeast. I was hoping to capture this image when it got to 54 °degrees. This was captured at 4:48 am when the Moon was at 4 degrees altitude.
