Bill,

Why don't you just try, using the current nice weather
and good Moon in the evenings:-)

It is like the normal "swinging".
In one position of the sext, two images of the Moon
just touch, when you swing, they slightly separate.
This separation becomes smaller and smaller as the Moon
becomes fuller.

With 100% full moon, swinging has no effect.

Alex.
