The Moon in June

 Dark clouds were rolling in from up the RIo Grande Valley, but the 6.4-d waxing crescent moon was still visible in a large patch of clear sky during fading twilight on the first night of June.  Shortly after this shot was taken the moon disappeared behind the advancing clouds.  Celestron C8 SCT and Sony A7iii camera.
