The crescent moon was rising just a bit after dark night ended, so it was difficult to tell if there were any clouds out there that might interfere with viewing it. But my target time of 5:15 came and went with no moon sighting so I knew that there was indeed an unwanted cloud, and a few minutes later the eastern sky brightened just enough that I could see the culprit. But the cloud only extended a little above the cathedral spire, so I hung out and moved to the left in anticipation .. and about 10 minutes later there she was!
