The #crescent #moon with the camera picking up light on the rest of the light of moon and it looks like a dome on a little crescent 🌙 ship #night #sky #photography

Moon and Mercury rising through clouds in morning twilight, as seen in the mountains of southern New Mexico.

The waning crescent is only 1 day from new. (Total solar eclipse tomorrow for Spain, Portugal, Iceland, and Greenland).

Mercury is rather bright, outshining most other stars in the morning sky.

The crescent moon is not quite two days old, but it's hard to miss in the dark skies of the southern New Mexico mountains.

Compare to a photo from 24 hours ago, when the crescent was barely detectable:

The very young crescent moon, less than 24 hours old, and Jupiter in the evening sky. (Tuesday, 14 July)

This is a very heavily processed image to make these objects visible. (Edge detection algorithm and aggressive contrast boost.)

The crescent moon is right of center and Jupiter is left of center at about the same elevation.

I was lucky to capture this scene before low clouds interfered.

The second graphic is from planetarium sky simulation software. The third image, with a moderate contrast boost, is the original frame from which I derived the highly processed image. The crescent moon is barely visible.

I never saw the moon or Jupiter with my eyes, or on the camera's monitor screen. I was shooting blind, knowing what azimuth to aim at.

The sky was slightly smoky/hazy, but when shooting at objects so close to the horizon, in such bright twilight...that made things more challenging.

I added type parameters to Crescent last night. I played with a few different syntax styles but they tended to make casts and match-extractors look confusing, so I'm currently using angle brackets. This toy example compiles and expands correctly.

Even though I have out-of-order compilation and late-binding and such, I hadn't appreciated thinking through parameterized types ahead of time...

The two-day old crescent moon sits among three planets in the evening sky, and a star cluster joins the party as twilight darkens.

Evening trio - The crescent moon, Venus, and the Pleiades...in three views as twilight progresses.

First view captures the moon and Venus, but it was still too bright for the Pleiades. The band of orange-yellow twilight sky gives lots of contrast to the rest of the sky.

Second view is a close look at Venus and the moon. Earthshine is obvious on the rest of the moon's disk.

Third view captures the blue stars of the Pleiades as twilight gets darker.

Sunset this evening featured a crescent moon and Venus. A really beautiful site.

Another numerically abysmal night, but of the three #moth visitors, at least one was a first sighting in 2026 for me.

Note the moon-shaped crescents on its wings, from where it gets its name. Common in southern UK.

Crescent moon - 22 February. Taken just after sunset, so the sky is not yet black.

#NewMexico #Moon #Crescent #Photography #Astrophotography

The young crescent moon occulted Mercury today...as seen from the mountains of southern New Mexico.

First photo is a telephoto shot of the moon only a minute after it uncovered our innermost planet. This was taken in bright twilight as a wind and dust storm was easing up.

Second photo is a wider angle shot ten minutes later that includes Venus in the bottom third of the frame. The evening twilight sky colors are pallid because of the dust storm clouds billowing a mile below me on the floor of the Tularosa basin.

Crescent – Milogather Parts 1 & 2

In these times, when so many bands compete over who’ll get a better guitar tone, polished production, and become the next big thing on a contemporary music scene, there are still music outlets that rely on authenticity, tradition, and classic sound that drew all of us into a rock ‘n’ roll world in the first place. Crescent are definitely torchbearers of that sweet, soulful, calm yet dominant sound where warm, commanding guitar tone meets groovy drum beats. They deliver music straight from the heart without even needing modern tools to polish their songs. It’s all about sincerity, passion, emotion, and the immense desire to deliver magnificent rock music. With their “Milogather Parts 1 and 2,” they achieved something many bands fail to achieve even throughout their entire careers, and that’s bringing the classic rock sound while infusing many signature ideas and moves at the same time. Even their approach to writing, composing, arranging, and producing music is different in so many ways from any other band you’ll stumble upon nowadays. In an era when countless artists and bands favor speed, digital tools, and immediate impact, Crescent rather chooses to gradually build a steady, healthy, honest relationship between them and listeners by carefully, thoughtfully, skillfully assembling songs that gradually get into your head and refuse to let go long after the last notes and beats end. Lyrically, both tracks explore love and relationships, but with a slightly different approach. Lyrically, both parts of this double single function as two perspectives on intimacy, imbalance, and connection, simple on the surface, but emotionally unresolved underneath. Part 1 circles around uncertainty, age difference, and emotional reassurance, delivered with a lightness that masks its vulnerability, while Part 2 explores emotional labour, unmet support, and the slow realisation that hope doesn’t always lead to change. Together, they act as a conversation that vividly explains how love, emotions, and relationships actually work.

Sonically, Crescent uses various approaches, techniques, directions, and styles to depict such a lush sonic imagery that perfectly suits the lyrics. Perhaps psychedelic rock comes to mind fist, as all fundamental elements of this music genre are vividly hearable from scratch to finish, but do not be surprised if you stumble upon some of the finest properties borrowed from seventies rock, classic rock, blues, etc. The band uses all these additional music genres as more than necessary enhancements, accentuations, decorations, and other detials to uplift their music to an entirely new level while simultaneously remaining loyal to the primary sonic direction. As soon as you press play, you’ll immediately notice how Millie Jones’ marvelous vocal harmonies elevate both compositions to new heights, command attention, and guide listeners on this epic journey through an expansive sonic universe. She seamlessly balances low, mid, and high notes with such precision and finesse, emphasizing everything Crescent intended to achieve with these songs. Besides decorating all those segments and orchestrations, her voice also contributes more than necessary soul, emotion, depth, and complexity over an already intricate soundscape. In the meantime, Caleb Hay helps her out by contributing additional vocal layers, back vocals, and sing-alongs, significant embellishments that make these tracks so ethereal, anthemic, and otherworldly. Of course, both songs have been adorned by many brilliant ideas and outstanding instrumentations, vividly hearable during all those profoundly detailed segments. You’ll immediately notice how Caleb Hay’s impressive guitar works shape a perfect backdrop for all the vocals to shine upon. All those incredible themes, melodies, harmonies, and jangly chord progressions are responsible for why Part 1 resonates with that recognizable psychedelic atmosphere. You’ll also hear many subtle bluesy leads and accentuations along the way, spicing things up to the max. Part 2 offers much heavier, generously distorted guitar riffs, but the quartet has also included those qualities mentioned before. This particular track balances rawness, heaviness, and aggression with calm, soothing, relaxing, and ethereal instrumentations, perfectly showcasing the diversity and creative range of the band.

Besides all those guitar works, it’s good to mention how keyboards contribute even more melody and harmony through a comprehensive collection of luxurious soundscapes and chord progressions. This particular instrument also adds depth and soothingness, especially during Part 1. Also, this epic sonic journey wouldn’t be complete without an equally impressive rhythm section. Beneath all those guitars and keys, you’ll hear how Jake Beddow’s intricate, vividly hearable, warm-sounding basslines rumble, offering more than necessary heaviness, clarity, and depth while simultaneously acting as a binding element between the mentioned instruments and rhythmic patterns. In the meantime, Christian Tunney’s exceptional drumming performance, based upon tastefully assembled, flawlessly performed, well-accentuated beats, breaks, fills, and other percussive acrobatics, keeps the remainder of the instrumentations in line while dictating groove and pace. Each instrument has its place and purpose in this sonic equation, making both parts of “Milogather” a pleasant listening experience worth repeating over and over again. With “Milogather Parts 1 and 2,” Crescent demonstrate their lush, intricate, fascinating sound that goes beyond comprehension so many times during these two tracks. Their love for retro psychedelic rock is so profound that you’ll be immediately transported into the sixties, an era when psych-rock ruled the airwaves. Their music not only brings back the golden age of the genre, but also showcases many innovations, rarely heard or seen in music delivered by other contemporaries. “Milogather Parts 1 and 2” is enchanting double single that vividly showcases all the brilliance of this magnificent quartet, and you should immediately place these songs on your music radar, because these highly creative folks demand your utmost attention.
