I have the app on my iPhone and iPad. -- Regards, Savageduck |

I would like an app which, when I turn around the phone, shows me exactly where to expect the moon to rise, does such an app exist? Already mentioned in this thread: The Photographer's Ephemeris http://photoephemeris.com/ covers sunrise/set and moonrise/set. No need to rotate the phone or iPad. Also available free as a web app for your Mac. If you need the stars and deep-sky as well, try SkySafari Pro. Here you get to wave your phone around. -- I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that you will say in your entire life. usenet *at* davidillig dawt cawm |

| exactly where to expect the moon to rise, does such an app exist? | There's no need for an app. It's easy to find moon phase times online. Here's an example: http://www.calendar-365.com/moon/moon-phases.html As for direction, look east. It might not always be *exactly* east, but for all practical purposes it it. Why would you need data to find it, anyway? It's a light in the sky. |

Here's an example: http://www.calendar-365.com/moon/moon-phases.html it's much easier with an app on a phone that tells you where the moon is *now* and which can be checked while outside and not just for the moon either. As for direction, look east. It might not always be *exactly* east, but for all practical purposes it it. Why would you need data to find it, anyway? It's a light in the sky. you must be kidding. |

How hard is it to find? eventually you can find it but knowing when and where to look and what phase it will be in helps a *lot*, plus the apps show much, much more than just the moon. |

I plan to just drive my Ford F150 pickup in circles until the display on the dashboard shows "E". For confirmation, I'll have a small potted tree on the back of the truck, and I can check where the moss is growing then turn right 90 degrees. -- Ken Hart |

He has a point. The moon is the largest body in the sky at night. Bzzzzzt! The Moon is the *brightest* body in the night sky. There are many objects with a greater angular diameter than the Moon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:I...onomical_objec ts_by_angular_size. Not all are visible to the unaided eye, however. How hard is it to find? Depends on the weather, dunnit? I knew exactly where to look for the Moon from central Maryland last night, but I couldn't see it to save my life. I expect the same will be true for tomorrow's eclipse, though I will have a telescope ready https://www.flickr.com/photos/primeval/21181354091 in case of an unexpected improvement in the weather. But here's a nice photo of the Moon that my wife and I made a few years ago: https://www.flickr.com/photos/primeval/5543413228/. -- I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that you will say in your entire life. usenet *at* davidillig dawt cawm |
