Early crescent Moon in the dusk, shows Mare Crisium in the right side. Crater Swift (5 km in diameter) becomes visible inside Mare Crisium. This image was taken through Vixen 12x80 binocular. The tilt of the North-South axis of the Moon is due to its proximity to the West horizon, close to the Sun just set.
