Nice pics of the moon. I found these comments interesting from another board about the moon recently.

"I work nights in the oil field, so the guys and I check out the moon every night we´re on the rig. We have some pretty good equipment here that is used to keep the rig perfectly over the drill hole, and have used it to check out the Moon´s movement. Notice I said movement - not possible movement. We are also linked to the NOAA and Naval Observatory and GPS. The point is this, the Moon is supposed to move a certain amount every day in a certain direction and then back again over the course of a month. What it IS doing is way off the mark. Three nights ago the moon was 17.3 degrees South of East. On the 27th when we watched the eclipse it was almost due East. Last night 4 degrees North of East, and now tonight we measured Moon rise over the horizon at 22.7 degrees North of East. We are using presision electronic equipment that keeps the rig aligned directly East/West along a particular latitude. From this latitudinal marker we measure the deviance from due East and compare it with what the Naval observatory says it should be."
