The waning gibbous moon will reach it's highest point in the sky somewhere between midnight and sunrise.
it is a moo phase in space up there The waning crescent moon is the moon phase immediately before a new moon, it rises just before dawn and is seen in the eastern sky at sunrise.
You would see in the sky before dawn or before sunrise. The older the moon's phase gets, the lower it is in the sky.

Full Moon
The waning crescent moon is the phase of the moon right before sunrise, it is seen in the eastern sky just before sunrise.
The waning gibbous moon will reach it's highest point in the sky somewhere between midnight and sunrise.
The exact time the moon reaches it's highest point in the sky varies with the moon's phases, but using the four major moon phases as an example, the New Moon is highest at noon, First Quarter is highest at sunset, Full Moon is highest at midnight and Third Quarter is highest at sunrise.

Which phase of the moon has the longest duration in the night sky?
The waning gibbous phase of the Moon. Think of it this way. The full moon rises at sunset, and sets around sunrise. The Moon's apparent motion in the sky is "backwards"; everything seems to move east to west, but from evening to evening, the Moon seems to be moving west to east. So the phase of the Moon that sets a couple of hours before sunrise is the waning gibbous moon, about 3 days past the full.
A waxing Moon can be seen when the Moon is larger in the sky, and is moving from the new Moon phase, and into the full Moon phase. A waning Moon is seen when the Moon is visibly smaller in the sky, and is moving from the full Moon phase, and into the new Moon phase.
New Moon.
I suppose you mean when the Moon reaches its highest point above the horizon. It mainly depends on where the Moon is in its orbit around Earth. For example, the Full Moon is seen when the Moon is opposite the Sun in the sky. So, Full Moon is highest around midnight. At New Moon, the Moon is highest in the sky around noon, because it's near the Sun in the sky. Actually you can't usually see it then, of course, because of the Sun. So, you can see the Moon at its highest at many different times depending on the phase of the Moon (which depends on where the Moon is in its orbit).
