He once referred to it as moon over hernia if I remember correctly. No joke.

I can't tell you the number of times I've seen people write "Moonrise over Hernandez," and I always have the exact same thought as you--that is not what he titled the thing! I also continue to be amazed at how many times I see his last name written as "Adam's."

What difference does it make? If you have enough money to buy it, the gallery will figure out what you mean.

Thanks for the input, Andy.

If they were titled "Sunrise over Hernandez", I would have checked the provenance.

Even rarer.

I've seen quite a few big Moonrise prints - after all, it was not only his most famous image, but by far, his most printed cash cow, over 350 of them.

No need for Photoshop. Michael Fatali simply sandwiched 8x10 chromes together for sake of optical Ciba enlargements, in one instance three of them, with both the rising moon and setting sun in astronomical impossible proximity. One should get suspicious of exactly the same crescent moon appearing in the same place in the sky in several different images. But the result was far more seamlessly precise, even in a 40X60 print, than anything digitally altered and printed.

Maybe I should revive the photo that I had AI create, of 'sunrise over San Francisco', AI showing the sun rising in the western sky?

When I bought and sold paint I made up a spoof color card with colors like Los Angeles Sunrise, dark brown.

When I comes to SF, I chuckle over the "blood moon" image arising above the Golden Gate Bridge well after sunrise, and about sixty times bigger in diameter than it would really appear. It was actually at its peak several hours earlier in a different position in the sky, while it was still dark. But that image got shown on the morning news, so it must have gotten all PS cobbled together awfully fast.
