Crescent of 5. May 2008, simulated with Guide 8

The following images show the lunar crescent, simulated with Guide 8, at the same times that the real images were taken.
These images are just shown to compare the geometry of the visible lunar crescent. They do NOT represent what would be seen with the naked eye.
The slow rotation of the crescent is visible and the slow change in radius of the moon, too.
The field ov view of the real camera used is smaller then these simulation images. The background stars are of course not visible in the real images.
