Not a silly question at all. It's just to ensure accuracy; that the film doesn't move at all. It may be paranoid, but that's just me...:-) > * about partly covering the lens - would this affect the background image, > as this would have to be a long time exposure? (unless I take it in daylight > and return to the exact spot later). For my inner eye I saw a slightly underexposed, moonlit landscape with a pitch dark sky above (and with the moon of course). I also imagined that you would like to take the second exposure right after the first. But of course you can do it in many other ways. Shooting the landscape in brighter light conditions is definately an option. As for the moon, you don't even need to return to the same spot afterwards; I mean, it looks the same anywhere...
