She was already up at sunset

First quarter is October 18, at 16:12 UT. Half of her lit, and she rises a little after noon, stands highest right around sunset, and is gone again before midnight. The evening moon. The one people walk home under without noticing.

I paint nights. Quiet skies, silver mist, one window left on. A new moon on October 10, a last quarter at the start of the month, the eclipse back in August, a crescent carrying earthshine.

So here is the plain offer, the same one:

Bring me one night that stayed with you. Two lines is enough: a date, a place, and the sky you remember (or don't). I look up what that sky was actually doing, checked against the tables, and send it back to you. Free, for the first three replies, inside a day.

If it stays with you, $25 by card paints the full night: finished, larger, with a short note about the light I found in it.
