John, this is very interesting. Were all the images taken one 24 hour period, or over many days?

This image was collected over a 24 hour period. The foreground landscape was pasted in afterwards (it is a bit more attractive than my back garden and is only half a mile or so away) I was careful to show it from the same compass point as the sun/moon images. The point of the picture was to show how the ecliptic changes with season or time of day. I hope that worked.
