    Re: Vertical Lunar challenge examples

    For two days, this chain has led me question my faith, because only last week I decided that watching Jupiter jump over the Moon was the worst possible position for taking a lunar, because the lunar distance was changing so slowly.  At last, I’ve spotted the difference c.f. your example.   At time of our star gazing at 53N, the Ecliptic was almost horizontal to our field of view.   You cunningly set your example close to the Equator where the Ecliptic can be almost vertical to the observer’s field of view, so vertical lunars should be perfectly possible.  DaveP
