Geoff does ;-)
I say 57.4 is the maximum 2 week amplitude swing for 2024, here are my numbers:
==========================================
Max/Min Declination of the Moon for 2024
24 Sep 2024 16:51:54 UT, 28.7048988
09 Oct 2024 11:43:33 UT, -28.6956638
Declination Swing = 28.7048988 - (-28.6956638) = 57.4005626 degrees
==========================================
