Thanks Keith that is the nature of the puzzle at this end. In March e.g.=20
azimuth of rise increased between March 1 to March 10 with arrows=20
variously up, horizontal or down.
So, if I follow correctly, arrow direction relates to position not=20
change of position. So up when less than ~83 and down when more than ~97=20
on rise; up when more than ~277 and down when <~263 on set.
The moon really gets around. No wonder the Norse had moon tables for=
=20
navigation and stone circle observatories to develop them; handy if much=20
of your real estate is distant by sea.
