Waning Moon and Clouds

There was a brief break in cloud cover over the past day, enough to reveal the Waning Moon this morning.  I took the above picture with the NightCap app on my iPhone, and did some very minor editing in PaintShop Pro.

This picture finally reveals the details of the Moon I have been looking for through the unaided iPhone camera.  I had the ISO down to 24 and exposure at 1/500s.  Here is a closeup:
