On Tuesday, November 28th, I disembarked from my normal train home from work. It was a clear night with the Moon high above. I decided to take a picture with the only camera I had available, which of course was my smartphone.
On Wednesday, November 28th, I disembarked from my normal train home from work. It was a clear night with the Moon high above. Standing in the same spot as the night prior and at roughly the same time, I look a picture of the Moon again.
On Thursday, November 29th, I disembarked from my normal train home from work. It was a clear night with the Moon above. Standing in the same spot that I did on the prior two nights, I look a picture of the Moon again.
On Friday, December 1st, I disembarked from my normal train home from work. It was a clear night with the Moon towards the East. Standing in the same spot that I did on the prior three nights, I look a picture of the Moon again.
This format was unintentional at the start, but by Thursday I decided to trek along with the experiment for as long as the clouds would stay away. In the end, I had four image sets, each 24 hours apart, pointed in the same direction.
The walkway light proved an excellent anchor to align the images day by day. Obviously, they are not 100% exact. I tried to stand in the same spot each night, but as this wasn’t a controlled environment exercise, the Moon’s path and location is ever so slightly off, but hardly noticeable.
Keep in mind that the Moon moves backward every day from its position the prior day. This was demonstrated quit visibly in August as the Moon past over the Sun from right to left.
Here is the same image with each day’s date tagged to its Moon phase:
