I didn’t even think about it, obviously. I won’t make that mistake again…
Although compositionally, having the moon face this way frames the center of the picture better… but still, it should be correct.
Next time!

It’s interesting that almost everyone who paid the least attention in school has at least half understanding of the theory behind the phases of the moon, but not so many seem to know what the phases actually look like. Maybe this is more “arty”. The moon’s “glitter path” is nicely drawn. (Oh, I can’t stop myself: also, for the moon to be on the right of the setting sun, you have to be in the southern hemisphere … OK, I’ll shut up now.)
