Rise of crescent above Cathedral courtyard

And so, I thought here again how to properly capture the moonrise ... that is, the rising of crescent. From time to time I monitor the parameters of the moon and the optimal points of its rising and setting. This time I found myself in ideal conditions: the moon was supposed to rise right above the Cathedral Courtyard, in a place where a postcard view of it opens up.

Here's the completed scheme. I arrive early, 15-20 minutes before moonrise. Time and points can be found in The Photographer's Ephemeris app. Maybe some new ones have already appeared, but I have not seen anything better yet.

The time has come, but the moon is still gone. But the time of moonrise is indicated when the moon crosses the horizon line, and there are more trees in front of me that are above this line. This must be taken into account.

And yet the yellow crescent is risen.

I try to substitute the crescent from different sides of the Cathedral Courtyard. To do this, you have to run along the embankment.

I wait for the desired height and substitute the moon in the ideal, in my opinion, place. Although many duplicates have already been made with different positions of the sky body.

Just in case, I make a close-up.

And then I try to experiment with other architectural objects.

Final version and go home!

Further, crescent already becomes too bright and rises high that it can no longer be built into the composition with architecture.
