Here we have a 3.5 days lunation Moon. Mare Crisium is completely illuminated and some fine details may be seen, like small Swift crater (5 kms diameter). The image was a sum (Registax 5) of 10 subframes at 9Mpx using the Casio Exilim EX-FS10 and Vixen 12×80 binocular.

Phases of the Moon are due to the angle the Sun hits the Moon in respect to Earth position. If the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun, then we see full moon. If the Earth is behind the Moon, then we see no Moon.
