1- Went for a morning walk and saw the crescent high in the sky. Saw it visually only as we left for the walk.
2- When we returned to Mom's apartment, I used my binoculars to see a very brightly lit crescent. To the East, there was a small section that was partially visible before fading in the morning sky. There was very little if any breeze. A high hazy cloud allowed viewing of the Moon but couldn't make out details on the lit terminator. Could make out dark Grimaldi.
