You=92re welcome.
I was sloppy in my description of azimuth.
=93where an object is in the sky for a location=94
Should have been
=93the direction of where an object is in the sky for a location=94
You would still need to know its altitude to know exactly where an object i=
s in the sky

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

Subject: RE: [NatureNS] Timeanddate moon and sun tables
I was on that site yesterday. I=92m not sure but I think you=92re talking a=
bout the arrows in the moon tables that are a depiction of the direction of=
where the moon is in the sky. The are just a visual representation of the =
azimuth number that is in brackets just to the right of them, which, as you=
probably know, is the standard way to specify where an object is in the sk=
y for a location

Subject: [NatureNS] Timeanddate moon and sun tables
Dear All,
The timeanddate.com tables are great for watching the solar seasons and=
moon cycles but I am stuck on the meaning of up, horizontal and down arrow=
s in the moon tables.
Right arrows denote rise, left arrows set but what information is conve=
yed when these arrows are rising, horizontal or falling ?
Thanks in advance for any help,
DW, Kentville
