Wow. Thanks for figuring that out. I guess I thought refraction only applies low altitudes.
If this keeps up, I'll have to get a metal sextant ...
Of course, the moon rises at 3 am, so I'll have to wait.
I've been amusing myself by looking at venus during the daytime.
Maybe I'll get up before sunrise to see all the heavenly bodies in the east.
Cheers,
Ken
