BTW, I notice that your image is upside-down compared to mine (fuzzy, but
can still tell). Shows that you're in the Northern hemisphere and I'm in
the Southern. Here (Brisbane, Australia) the shadow grew from the
bottom-left corner until the last fingernail vanished top-right. My pics
here were taken after peak coverage but before direct light has struck the
Moon yet.
Anyway, still disappointed I haven't succeeded in getting a good image.
