Early morning astronomics

Up early for an ISS pass and this month’s last setting of the moon in a waxing gibbous phase (just before it’s full). It’s always my favorite moonset because the sky is still quite dark, but the disk is almost full.  ISS pass was at 5:05 and well before sunrise, so the period of visibility was quite short–so short, I that missed it. The clouds cooperated, so I did get to track the moon until it disapeared behind Lanai. Beautiful way to start the day.
