Terrific image!

Someone straighten me out: the horizontal spacing and above-horizon points are (very obviously!) different for the sun & moon.

Is this due to the moon's Earth-orbital inclination being slightly different to the Earth's sun-orbit inclination?

(Another way of asking the same question is "why don't the two sequences of photos, taken 2 hours apart, overlay each other?")
