A composite of images of the waning Moon in the dawn sky of July 2017, with a series of close-ups taken with the 130mm refractor and Canon 60Da camera, and most with the 2X Barlow lens to further magnify the image. The sequence progresses from a 19-day-old moon (at far right) to a 26-day-old Moon (at far left). In this set, the sequence progresses in time from right to left, reflecting the Moon’s motion from west to east (right to left) across the sky from night to night due to its orbital motion around Earth. Each morning, the Moon appears farther to the left, or east, as seen from the northern hemisphere.

Sunset at Point Lonsdale Lighthouse, near Queenscliff, Victoria, Australia, April 7, 2017. The Sun has set to the west at right, the gibbous Moon is rising in the northeast at left of the Lighthouse. This is a 360° panorama with the 14mm lens, landscape orientation, and Canon 6D camera. Stitched with PTGui. I added a soft glow layer “Orton Effect” to add the soft focus effect.
