"In this composite image I wanted to represent the position and the changing phases of the Moon above the peaks of the Cridola Group, in Italy, during a lunar month, called synodic month." -- Giorgia Hofer

Do you think it's reasonable to post photos without a credit to the photographer?

Or is manipulating your audience the objective here?

Tineye reverse image search takes seconds to reveal that the image was already click fodder for manipulative jerks.

His(?) profile says, “creative analyst”. Perhaps he’s innocently asking for a creative analysis of the pic from us audiences? Who knows! 😁

Les partisans de la terre globulaire veulent nous faire croire que les orbites sont elliptiques, mais regarde cette photo ! ⬆️

@jeffowski Come on, Moon, you’re all over the place. Sort yourself out.

@2ndStar

das meinte ich nicht, aber kann ich mir gut vorstellen und verstehe den "Neid", glaube ich.

Ich habe überlegt ob das Symbol für unendlich daher kommt. Hab dazu aber nichts gefunden und kenne mich auch in der Astronomie nicht so aus.

@Gleisplan
Neidisch kann ich da echt werden, bei so einer Serie!

Aber, ich freue mich sehr über solche Aufnahmen!
Es sieht einfach zu schön aus!
Und die Bewegung des Mondes ... Hach :blob_cat_heart:

*Nein, das Zeichen kommt nicht dadurch.

@jeffowski Same time? The Moon rises ~50m later every day. Full Moon raises right at sunset and the next day it does it almost 1h later. Corollary: no matter what time of the day you take the pictures, some half of them won't have the Moon on it. They must have done some kind of compensation?

@jeffowski I mean, the image is beautiful, kudos to the photographer, but I want to have a better idea of what am I actually looking at here. call me nerd :)

Cool photo, but according to the post on Reddit where it appeared in October 2021, it's a photoshop.

@geobeck -- Yeah... Like I didn't know we didn't have 28 moons in the sky. Of course it is photoshopped, DUH! And I only bring the text from the source if the source provided any. If you look at the comments, you're not even the first one to mention this. You're late to the party.
It's also always some asshole that doesn't even follow me that is always commenting shit like this and not even looking at comments.

I suspect your description of this is imprecise
and this is like the 100th time this has come up on just my social media

not a good look when you post somethign that hoax eye has already debunked

@jeffowski @OutOnTheMoors This is a composite photo. It’s actually physically impossible to get a multiple exposure of the Moon that would look like this.

There was a *really* nice post on reddit that debunked it, but for some reason it was taken down as suspected spam. Sounds like things are going great over there. Here is an archived version:
web.archive.org/web/2020110904

Just to give you an idea of why it can’t work:
The moon is half a degree wide. So, using that as a scale, the distance between the almost New Moon and the Full Moon in that picture is about 11°.
You would see a thin waxing crescent near the Eastern horizon, just before sunrise. A Full Moon would be near the Eastern horizon at *sunset* (so, not the same time) or near the Western horizon at sunrise (so, ~180° away, in the opposite direction, MUCH more than 11°).

Anyway, it’s a nice picture, but it’s art, not science. The description is only correct in that the Moon was photographed. I’d delete the rest.

@jeffowski is there a link we could read? I'm asking because I have been thinking of doing a similar thing (I think it actually was all full moon risings of the year).

@mdione -- Hang on... I saw a photo of someone actually doing the same spot thing.

@jeffowski something does not add up.

check the moon rises in this table for this month's moons timeanddate.com/moon/france/pa

headings are 45°-136°, some 90° in total (wow!), which checks: a 18mm lens on a APS-C sensor should barely cover all that; wider lenses or bigger sensor should give more context.

but the times, the go all over the day, starting at 22h, going all over midnight onto the small hours, then morning, noon and afternoon all the way to 21h.

so yes, "represent" is the key word.

@jeffowski I took that table, recorded all the moon rise dates and times and tried to get images from stellarium.

first, for some reason the times didn't match. Second, it was kinda boring, having the moon just above the horizon.

so Instead I took the time as midnight, took a screenshot, blended them all in one, and produced this image. Unluckily it doesn't quite look like the analemma I expected. I need a real #astrophotograpy expert here.

A stack of images of the full Moon's days at midnight, trying to replicate some kind of analemma, but for some reason failed.
