Frank's lunar calculator has the observed venus moon distance at 13° 15' for UT 12:15:00 civil twilight on 16 August 2020. This is a better yard stick reference for determining the bearing to Mt. Erie (59°) and for determinig the vertical angle of Mt. Erie (1°36'). The improved calculated range is 7.4 NM bearing 59° true.
