First Light
The sky on somebody’s night, and a photograph of one thing in it. Two true things on one sheet, each carrying its own date.

- Sun at least 6° below the horizon; weather unknown
- Moon

- Also up
- no planets above the horizon
Computed sky positions for your selected moment and place. Weather and local obstructions are not reconstructed; being above the horizon does not guarantee visibility.
the photograph
Without a commission, this is a computed sky sheet only. No archive photograph is attached. A commissioned photograph carries its own capture date when an instrument delivers it.
A commissioned photograph joins the same queue anyone else’s request does, and is worked between booked sessions. How a capture is proved.
