I used a sextant for sailboat navigation in the '70s but mostly noon sights, I'm going with the moon is in the south and illuminated from the wrong side in relation to the Sun. What time of day did Bickle do the flight? He must have done it early in the AM as he flys into a low sun, he would have told the artist this. then the artist illuminated the Moon on the wrong side.
