I've updated my personal record for observing and photographing the thin waning Moon!

The illuminated surface of the old Moon is about 1.8%.

The shot was taken 1 hour before sunrise: at 04:30 Moscow time.

Observation conditions were unfavorable: the Moon was quite low above the horizon, with cloudiness, wind, and fires in the southern Moscow region...

The video consists of 490 frames, with 50% selected for stacking.
