Nikolaos Pantazis – south of Athens, Greece – caught the waning crescent moon rising with planet Venus and Spica, on November 6, 2018.

Kaliannan Shanmugasundaram wrote from Soeng Sang Town, Thailand on November 6, 2018: “As a newcomer to astronomy, I have been watching the moon, sun and stars and reading articles on EarthSky. Living in a small village in NE region of Thailand, for retirement, I have been taking photos of the sky and its wonderful creations. I was lucky to see the crescent moon and Venus on the east sky, just above the field. I wish to share the photo with the readers of EarthSky.” Thank you, Kaliannan!
Don Thousand caught the moon and Venus on November 5, 2018 with an iPhone 6s. He wrote: “Waning crescent moon and waxing Venus over the Rio Hardy at Rancho Mil, Baja California.”
By the way – from the Southern Hemisphere now – Venus would have been harder to see. But Peter Lowenstein in Mutare, Zimbabwe did catch the November 6 very old moon, with a flock of White Faced Whistling Ducks in a brightly colored dawn sky. He wrote: “I have tried many times to photograph them without success as the light is usually low, they fly fast and the camera either does not have time to focus or the pictures are affected by low shutter speed blur. This time they were headed towards the light and their motion was in the direction of the field of view. Perfect shot! Camera: Hand-held Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ60 in sunset scene mode.” Thanks, Peter!
Bottom line: Photos of the moon and Venus before dawn.
