I failed again, and plan to try again after I sight the waxing
crescent locally for the first time this lunar month.

Sunset here is at 5:46 p.m. 260 degrees, West.

At that time the moon will be at an altitude of 21 degrees
at 250 degrees, West-SouthWest, so it should be visible
around or just after then, so I expect to begin a new
attempt by around 5:55 p.m. (2125 UTC March 1).

If I fail because the moon is still only 5% full and will
be very close in azimuth to the setting sun, I don’t know
when I can try again, since it will be cloudy for at
least the next two evenings.

Some planets should also still be visible around nightfall.
