Have they explained why pictures of the moon taken from Sydney Australia are upsidedown from pictures of the moon taken in NYC?

As a Sydneysider I can confirm our photos are the right way up

Wouldn't you sort of expect that in a spotlight-style moon?

I say sort of, because what you'd actually expect, at least if I'm picturing it correctly, is that the moon would be rotated by about 130°. To be fully upside down you'd want to be off the coast of South America. And even then it'd be a rotation of 180°, which is not the same as a reflection.
