Jim, Do you remember what month that was? I'm thinking September as I have photos saved from the 26th. New Moon was on the 25th. If that's the day, we were seeing one more like 30 hours old. This Sunday night's will be about 34 hours old...in April we get a chance to see an 18 hour old moon which would beat my personal unaided eye record of 19. July, Sept, and Nov also look good for 16-20 hour moons. Dave On Thursday, March 18, 2004, at 09:03 PM, Jim Gibson wrote:
I did Chuck. I find it very fascination ever since Dave Bennett showed me a 22 - 24 hour old young crescent last summer at Wolf Creek.

Thanks for the forecast, Jim. BTW, did you catch the recent articles in S&T on observing young crescent moons?

Chuck I check with our MET folks to see if there were any chages and they said no. This thing that is passing through now will be short lived. They assured me that it will be clear and worm - hot for St. George. There could be some high serous clouds in a few places but they should dissapate after dark. Jim
