Lunar crescent observation from La Palma

Version 03.09.2008, ME

Julian Braun, a colleague from the Munich Public Observatory was at the island of La Palma and spent some effort to observe the crescent on several days. Due to bad weather he could not find the crescent on 30.8 or 31.8, but he succeeded on 01.09.
