If in some shots you can see the Moon or the Sun bigger, while in some other shots smaller it has to do with the magnification of the telescope or lens. In shots where the moon looks huge, the distance from the ground target is very large ~ 8+ km , while the photographs is through the telescope with a focal length of 1000 mm. When you see the moon rising behind the Old Fort, while the mountains in the distance of up to up change is because the moon moves along the ecliptic ± 5 °.
In shots with stellar tracks , you can notice the movement that make stars, which essentially is the Earth that revolves around itself with speed 1674.4 km . / Hr. In fact , the rotation period of the Earth around its axis is 23 hours , 56 minutes and 4.09 seconds and called stellar day . Thus observing the Earth from celestial bodies , the main apparent motion is from east to west with a speed of 15 ° / h = 15 ' / min or for example a solar or lunar diameter every two minutes .
