Mooncalc.org data for this date, time, and location
Yup, it's where it should be -- I'm pointed low and to the right a bit.
Stellarium
Moon - Az/Alt: +275°09'58.1"/+29°52'47.0" (apparent)
The Altitude is within a fraction of a degree, the Azimuth of my device isn't terribly accurate (it wiggles around actively) because it's based partially on the magnetic reading -- so it's off by maybe 3-4 degrees.
To get an accurate heading we need to align to the stars and that's just not built-into phones yet. I'll be able to do it with my telescope pretty soon but I won't always have that with me -- but that should give me similar accuracy with heading measurements (if not better -- possibly down to a few arcseconds - but it depends upon the care with which I calibrate and align my telescope).

ReplyDeleteLet me be clear that website is pure nonsense. Eric Dubay is a delusional fool and so is the blogger at that website it is that same recycled lies as before. Also take your nonsense elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteWould you like to attempt to make a claim and back it up with evidence or you just here to spam links (which I'm pondering removing as spam).
