you can frum the sun but im not sure bout the moon

Thanks

In my question, I was hoping that you might get even a hint of where say north is by the direction of the moons crescent or it's position.

As you can tell north by the position of the sun, perhaps you can get an indication of the sun from the sun light being reflected from a half moon?

This helps determine the relative positions of the sun and the moon at the time the image was taken.
