Pro tip for tracing fake moon landing photos, check the shadows twice

Took me 3 days to spot the trick in a 1969 Apollo image someone posted here. The shadow angles looked right at first, but the flag shadow pointed opposite the rocks. Turns out the sun position was off by about 14 degrees if you map it with any free sky chart app. After that I ran a quick shadow check on every NASA pic I see now. Anyone else use a specific tool or method to verify these old shots, or do you just eyeball it?
