Tonight I took another shot of the moony and this time it cme out a little better. It was on maximum zoom, so you don't have a frame of reference, but I was stoop up with the camera line at the horizon.... [ link to postimage.org] The moon is still in the west, far above the horizon, and you can see the entire outline. Today the colour is brighter than yesterday. now check the moon phase calender and compare... [ link to postimage.org] Although theabove link says that the phases are approximations, I do not think they would be off by a whole 90 degrees. Also if this is a Cheshire or Wet Moon, then why has it not been factored into the calender?Because AGAIN the calendar does not know where you are or when you are looking. if you were to observe the Moon a few hours earlier then it would appear upright. If you were to observe even earlier than that when it rose it would appear with the lit side up. the further North you are the less apparent tilt you would see. If you were in the Southern hemisphere you would see the apparent tilt in the other direction. If you observe through a telescope which is polar aligned then it would always be upright. So you are saying that if I go out at the same hour every night, I should always see a wet moon during the new moon phase?
