All observations (most omitted here for brevity) proceed continuously forward in time until the last set, where the times jump back and repeat the first Regulus set exactly but with different altitudes. I would expect the final set of Regulus altitudes to begin after the last Moon altitude at 0306. I'm pretty sure Greg converted his observations into an equivalent pair of altitudes and a lunar distance. If he would give the three angles it would save a great deal of work for anyone who wants to work the lunar. -- Paul Hirose sofajpl.com
