Claude 9e2852fd73 Use fixed obs time for NASA fetch and atmosphere check
Previous approach: scan a 3-day window, find best moon detection,
use that timestamp.  Problems: fuzzy composite (multi-day scan could
pick a frame far from actual full moon), no clear tie between the
NASA render and a specific observable moment.

New approach — MOON_OBS_TIME_LOCAL (default 22:30 local):
  On the night of the exact phase event, look at east frames in a
  ±MOON_OBS_WINDOW_MIN (default 30 min) window around the configured
  time.  The frame closest to that time determines atmosphere opacity;
  the same time (rounded to hour) drives the NASA Dial-a-Moon fetch.
  This gives one definitive moment per phase per month.

moon_phase_monthly.py:
  - PHASE_SPEC stripped to just post_delay + enabled_key (all window/
    illumination filtering removed — obs time is the only selector)
  - run_phase() replaced with obs-time logic; opacity derived from
    detect_moon quality on that single frame
  - MOON_FULL_POST_DELAY_DAYS / MOON_QUARTER_POST_DELAY_DAYS default
    changed to 1 (post morning after the phase, frames already on disk)

moon_composite.py:
  - atmosphere blur default: output_width//10 (192px) → output_width//20
    (96px) so cloud shapes survive the blur

sky-cam.conf:
  - MOON_OBS_TIME_LOCAL=22:30, MOON_OBS_WINDOW_MIN=30
  - Post delay defaults updated to 1

test_moon_composite.py:
  - Tries real NASA SVS Dial-a-Moon API first; procedural disc only as
    fallback if API unreachable
  - Runs detect_moon on the east frame to compute real opacity
  - Single output (test_composite_out.jpg)

"""moon_composite.py — paint a high-res lunar texture into a sky-cam frame.
Goal: from a frame east captured of a small white blob (~38 px), produce a
1920x1080 image that looks like east took it through a 65x telephoto.
What's real, from east:
- Sky color, atmospheric halo, any clouds drifting past
- Time, parallactic angle (orientation of "up" on the moon)
- Position of the moon in the frame at that instant
What's borrowed:
- The lunar surface texture (one cached high-res reference image)
