Basin 5 included per your request.
Kind of a Moon fun fact, and also historic confirmation of why even some dumbass "historians" were puzzled by the brightness with which the Washington Crossing the Delaware was painted. See this version of the painting by the same artist. And know that it was a full moon on the evening of 25DEC1776. A Full Moon rises around sunset. Historians think Washington may have crossed as early as 7pm that night.
Sunset in Winter can be before 5pm around the Winter Solstice. So one would expect the Full moon to progress 45 degrees 3 hours from a 5pm Moonrise, which would be 135 degrees. (Note: the Moon travels 15 degrees per hour.) But in the PAINTING, which faces SE 135degrees, (THINK DIRECTION) the light source behind the clouds is to the left of 135. So, again the painter, who prolly did his homework seems to have gotten the PICTURE right.
Paint the picture.
Nice werk, Anon.
Anons, what do you see here? Apologies if it is something commonly known and already discussed. It may be nothing.

Thanks for the clear pic, Anon. Cannot get good clarity on my phonefag device. Okay then.
>maybe related to the artist, Emanuel Leutze.
Was thinking that myself. Artists sometimes like to add those types of things. Did he sign it in th normal place on the right bottom? If so, then probly not necessary to hide his initials again is my thinking. Oh well then. Almost thought we had a keystone kind of shape. But Q's subsequent messages indicate the keystone is more like a code or way of reading the posts.
>The moon does look more like a star or snowflake in the higher res version. Also appears that Q's image has had a colour filter applied.
Think light source behind the clouds. Historically, the night had a full moon with not so guud weather. See my thoughts on moon being in the right place above.
Haven't had a chance to get actual moonrise for 25DEC1776 but from experience with early sunsets close to Winter Solstice, was guessing 5-ish. Each 45 degrees of horizon takes the Moon about 3 hours. The East horizon is at a bearing of 90. The "Moon" looks to be less than 135. More like 120-ish like 2 hours or so after sunset. 7-ish? And isn't it interesting- Wasjington sent a message to one of his commanders that evening and signed it "McConkey's Ferry. 7pm".
I love history.
Look at diagram for the position of a FULL MOON at sunset. Adding 3 hours (45 degrees) would put it directly ahead as the river at the crossing faces SE (135 degrees). But the light source is a little less than that. Maybe 2 hours after sunset/Moonrise?
