Disclaimer: The images posted below are taken through my mobile camera on top of my optical telescope. Hence it might not give a proper picture of what my observation is. However, I am sharing it, for logging purposes. More importantly, the core purpose of this observation is to, identify the periodic range of different daytime and nighttime periods of the Moon. To present a more accurate Moon clock. I also notice that, most of the digital images of the Moon flattens the illumination and light throw of the Moon the gleams onto your eye in an optical telescope. The points captured in the observations, illustrates these unique elements captured during my observations. Please share your thoughts and comments in the comments section below.

Phase: Astami (8) - Waxing Moon Period of Time on Moon: Afternoon Location of Observation: Chennai Observation: "The Morning session on the Moon seams to start lighting well before the morning hours start. Some mountain peaks start getting light. A significant area looks to have dull day light starting in." Moon Time: 8hrs 0mins 20sec Date & Time: 12th Nov 2021 22:01 hrs IST |

Phase: Thasami (10) - Waxing Moon Period of Time on Moon: Afternoon Location of Observation: Chennai Observation: a.) A blue film/glow around the edge. Looking like a thin atmosphere or a reflective nature of high noon. b.) The gradient nature of Early morning to Afternoon was observable c.) As the light zone is transitioning between two longitudinal hemisphere. The region of Early morning where the light is dull, looks to be reduced compared to previous observation. Moon Time: 10hrs 1mins 20sec Date & Time: 14th Nov 2021 20:35 hrs IST |

Phase: Ekadasi (11) - Waxing Moon Period of Time on Moon: Extreme Daylight Location of Observation: Chennai Observation: a.) The Blue film/glow was still prominent like yesterday b.) The region of early morning zones looks increased. Compared to yesterday. c.) The most unique observation of today was the light breaking dawn toward early morning in mare region where the elevation was lower. As the light is entering the slopes of the left latitude region of the hemisphere. The nature of lighting up seams to be unique. Unlike the mountainous regions lighting up in previous times. We are now seeing the low lying areas light up before the elevated regions. Moon Time: 11hrs 1mins 11sec Date & Time: 15th Nov 2021 22:15 hrs IST |

Phase: Dvathasi (12) - Waxing Moon Period of Time on Moon: Extreme Daylight Location of Observation: Chennai Observation: a.) It was cloudy. Giving opportunity for less refracted and dull lighted observation. There was the presence of the blue film/glow around the edges. Though the color of blue was not present. The thin distinct layer was visible. Confirming its not an optical expression but an actual expression of the Moon. b.) Did an extended period of naked eye observation. Where the Moon's glow and light throw was pulsating with radiant light streaks. The pulsating light was interacting with the space around the Moon and the space in general. The gleaming glow around edges became prominent during these pulsating glowing periods. It was a unique and phenomenal experience to watch. To capture this observation, keeping your eye pointed at the Moon with a calmed down mind helps quickening the process of getting to this experience. But a wonderful experience indeed. Moon Time: 12hrs 07mins 15sec Date & Time: 16th Nov 2021 22:45 hrs IST |
Day Night Time on Moon
Both the clock and table below are set for the first segment on the Moon surface. Adding 1 hour to the clock for each of the next segment gives you the time for that section.
