Default MOON It's just a phase it's going through.

Why not give me both?
(The preceding one and the following.) What need have you for
precision?- Hide quoted text -


Weatherlawyer,

Sorry to have misunderstood your question.
OK,
There was a New Moon on Feb 17.67749
It moved 1.0 deg by Feb 17.750579

The difference being 0.073089days
or 1h 45m 14.9 sec

Following New Moon Mar 19.113802
progressed 1.0 deg by Mar 19.184536

and the difference is 0.070734 days
or 1h 41m 51.4 sec

I always include the travel rate at the bottom. This
gives observers a leg up on optimal times for feature
illumination. Yesterday (Mar 19) it moved at 0.59 d/hr
so 1/ 0.59 = 1.6949 hrs or 1h 41m 41.7 sec (close).

Regards,

Ben
