« on: May 21, 2024, 06:25:44 PM »You mean your dishonest representation of the moon terminator illusion?
Which is merely a result of you trying to take a wide angle view which necessarily distorts the view and place it on a flat plane?
The Moon Tilt is something you can see with the naked eye and does not require wide angle lenses. I have seen it many times, and also took a series of photos with a Google Pixel 3 XL Phone in 2021, which has a rectilinear lens like an iPhone. Click images or links for bigger:

I am reposting my observation here for posterity and reference regarding the Moon Tilt Illusion.
On the "Ball Experiment" -
Bay Area California, Feb 21st, 2021, pictures taken around 5:27 PM PST with a Google Pixel 3 XL Phone.

I placed the ball on a post along the side of a road. The sun was shining from a horizontal direction. The ball is half lit.

Viewpoint from behind the ball, looking at Sun:

From a position front of the ball, with our back to sun, we can see that the illuminated portion of the Moon pointing upwards in the background. See Full Size for detail.

Closeup of the Moon in the background, while zooming in the device created a digital leveling tool on the screen to help ensure the device was level. Compare the orientation to the Moon in the Full Size Image 3 above.

Next I moved my position to below the ball and the top of the post, to get the ball to point upwards via a close range perspective effect. I could have done a better job at getting the phase to match, by moving the camera around. But it was easy to move the camera downwards to get the illuminated portion to point upwards:

Finally, I turned the device and placed the ball across the screen from the sun on a wide frame. The illuminated portion pointed at the Sun.
