Dalla notte al giorno
Instructions
Lurk with your smartphone or camera at the window of your room, in the evening, before going to sleep, and in the morning, when you wake up, to take pictures of the moon and the sun in an attempt to catch them in a position where they are superimposable. It takes a certain patience, you have to repeat tests for several days, and you can also accept approximate results.
Then put the images together, but do not overlap them.
