Hi Herman,
To state it differently one can also say that at meridian passage the line connecting the horns of the moon is vertical pointing towards N (or S). This is not exact!
You can see my older post about tilt of the moon:

where you can find formulas and my simulations
also you can see Frank's respons:

kind regards,
Igor
