Yes you can. In fact the moon can be seen periodically at any time during the day or night depending on its location in its orbit.

During the night it is easier to see for two reasons:

  • At night our eyes have become dark adapted
  • During the day we see it against the bright blue of the sky which provides less contrast than the black night sky.

The end of the waxing crescent phase is the First Quarter moon, which sets around midnight.

If the crescent has not waxed quite that far yet, then it sets earlier.
