@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.
