One might also refer to M33 in this context as "Sir Not Appearing in this Picture". :mrgreen:

Re: APOD: Crescent Moon Occultation (2023 Feb 25)

Hi All,
I'm sure there's a logical explanation for this, but why do they appear reversed, as though they are rising rather than setting? This is how the setting crescent moon appears in my Newtonian reflector, which reverses the image.

Many thanks,
Darren
