It was; the Northern Hemisphere view of the conjunction looked like Glatt's pics.

Yes, a day later, when the sky was clear of clouds again and after the moon had moved 1/28th of the way around the Earth and was no longer in the same position.

Theoretically, there will be a slightly different perspective of the moon from different hemispheres, but as you can see from the image below, the moon is so small and so far away, in practice, you need fine instrumentation to see the difference. You won't notice a difference with a simple camera or the naked eye. It would be like moving over one seat in a rock concert to see a different view of the singer on the stage. The view doesn't really change that much.
