Draw an imaginary line from where the Sun rose in the east, through Jupiter and Saturn, and to where the Sun will set in the west.

Go outside in the day. While this was taken in early October the field has snow from an unseasonably early snowfall and winter storm which didn’t clear until Sept 30, preventing me from getting the Sept 29 Moon very close to the Sun. All with the Canon EOS R and 35mm Canon L lens. The base image is cropped from a panorama of 5 images stitched with Adobe Camera Raw. Antares and the stars of Scorpius are also visible in the deep twilight. The ecliptic line is correctly placed below the Moon, as the Moon’s path does not coincide with the ecliptic but is tilted 5° to the ecliptic and it was above the ecliptic on most of these nights, but approached and crossed the ecliptic on Oct. The ecliptic line looks straight but is actually a shallow curving arc. The Moon positions are close to the actual positions relative to the horizon and to Jupiter, bright at left.

The Sept 30 (farthest to the right), plus Oct 2, Oct 3 and Oct 4 moons (to the left, from R to L) are added in with separate exposures taken from exactly the same spot and with the same camera and lens on the other nights, with those images layered and masked into the Oct 1 sky. The base panorama image of the sky and landscape is from Oct 1, which also provides the Moon image second from the right. Earthshine is just visible on the dark side of the Moon in the later images. This was shot from my home in southern Alberta at latitude 50° N. The ecliptic - the blue line - is always low in the sky at this time of year, placing the Moon and planets low as well in the evening twilight. the southwest evening sky over five nights, Sept 30 to Oct 4, 2019.
