David and Greg,
Excellent analyses! You got it faster than I did. Then again, I started in 2017 and checked every two-day-old moon with the ecliptic inclined properly through early 2019. As I say, spotting Venus in the rigging changed everything. David, no Betelgeuse, but yes to Capella and Aldebaran! I don't have time for much detail right now, but I hope these graphics speak for themselves.
