Default The moon 12.31 pm BST tomorrow

Nice clear sky here this morning and the moon is obvious, roughly 30 degrees
elevation, WNW at 10 am. I intend noting, via land marks etc, where in the
sky it is at 3/4 hour before and 3/4 hr after 12.30 today. Which position is
it approximately tomorrow, the time before or after 12.30 today, if seeing
is bad tomorrow?
Their previous go at cosmic billiards threw up more material than expected
so perhaps the same tomorrow and it is a lot closer.

Not sure what exactly you want to do, but if you are using today's
appearance of the Moon's location in order to find it tomorrow, you should
locate it and mark the angle today at about 52 minutes before the time you
will search for it tomorrow. It won't be an exact fit due to motion
southwards by a degree or two, but should be pretty close.

Its only just above high ground to the north of me, now, at 11.50 today so
I'll have to go further south/higher up tomorrow for it to be observable,
thanks .
