backdrop plenty of times, with enough hills to make sure that the Moon is well
away from the horizon.
Also observe that in Mike's moonscape, the Moon appears to be only 2, maybe 3
degrees above the horizon.

Among other things, Alain saw fit to write:

But it lasts minutes because the sun moves in an almost vertical direction,
so it gets farther from the horizon sooner... or so I understand.
What I mean is, whether you have twilight or not, would be determined by the
position of the sun (and full moon) with respect to the horizon, not by the
time it took to reach that position. So once you have a position in a
picture, it doesn't matter if it's in the tropics or in the poles (except
for the possible effects of temperature, moisture, dust...).
