Waxing crescent moon seen with telescope

$The 15-day-old Moon on August 8, 2017, with it high in the sky and neutral in tone, compared to the earlier shot with it low and reddended that pairs with this image as a demonstration. The Moon here is also much sharper, with the better seeing from its higher altitude in the middle of the night.Taken with the 130mm AP refractor with 2X Barlow and Canon 6D MkII.$

$The 23-day-old waning crescent Moon with the Astro-Physics 130mm refractor (with 2X Barlow lens) and Canon 60Da camera. On the morning of July 18, 2017. Taken as part of a series of waning Moon shots. This morning the sky was very hazy with forest fire smoke making the Moon appear quite yellow. This discolouration was corrected for this image.$

$The 4-day-old waxing crescent Moon (more like the 3.5-day Moon) on April 8, 2019 exposed for just the bright sunlit crescent, revealing details along the terminator. This is with the 105mm Traveler refractor and 2X AP Barlow lens for an effective focal length of 1200mm at f/12, and with the cropped-frame Canon 60Da at ISO 400, for a single exposure of 1/60 second. This is not a stack or mosaic.$
