The orientation of the lunarscape in my photo is about 45 degrees counterclockwise from the orientation shown in the above image from Fourmilab. I think that the Fourmilab image shows the moon as it appeared on midnight on December 12.

That depends on when the image was taken. The moon changes inclination throughout the night. Mousetoescamper Dec 13 #10
