    More Lunars, now from Argentina
    From: Martin Caminos
    Date: 2024 Jun 15, 15:25 -0700

    Hello everyone,

    Following my trip, I am now in my home city of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

    The city is located on the south side of the river plate, which is around 25 nm wide, so I can use the river as a natural horizon. 

    Today, I practiced lunars with the sun and the moon, both visible around 18:30 utc.

    Here goes the sight details:
