Frank I will follow your example and use local time..........
Here at 41s 175E it is about 1540pm local time on a "rabbits" day. From a Nautical Almanac app I have
Sun Zn 301° Hc 53°
Moon 000° 55°
Venus 014° 47°
However I have a problem. Nowhere in your viewing venus in daylight instructions have you explained what to do about the white stuff that sometimes covers the sky!
A pity because I could have tried a moon meridian sight. I assume it would be the same as a sun meridian sight.
