The young crescent could not be observed on 19.10.2009, due to clouds near the horizon and the extremely short lag time of just 6 minutes.
The crescent was easily seen on 20.10.2009, despite the low altitude. The sky was quite transparent with the cold weather.
Alle images were taken with a Canon 350D through a small telescope.
