RRR

Right, rise, right still works for the waning moon this morning. That is to say, the moon is a little to the right of the sun rising in the east, with its horns pointing right, that is to say west. And it is visibly more waned than it was yesterday morning.

On the other hand, it is still dark and what was one moon is now three. There is a strong echo of the real moon to the left and a weak echo to the left of that, making a total of three. It works with the monocular with both right and left eyes, so is maybe an artefact of the sky rather than of me. A phenomenon which Schubert and Muller clearly knew all about when they penned their song 'Die Nebensonnen'.
