Late Harvest Moon

[TechStuf]

Moon's headed for it's new northern limit once again.  Let's see what 'shakes out' over the next few days.

@TechStuff - I've read several places (here too probably) about the "28.5 Deg" figure that the moon doesn't exceed in the sky - is there anyone (professional, amateur, whatever...) that is capable for measuring the 'real' angle doing so and publishing the fact?  I mean, this is the moon, it's not something you can actually hide to prevent anyone competent from measuring the true angle and showing beyond doubt that something strange is happening!

Yet there seems to be no actual evidence available to support this claim...

get yourself a sextant, 200$ at Edmund scientific.

In a way you are just validating my point - ie. it is pretty easy to conclusively prove this hypothesis!!!

So where is the evidence of all of those people out there who already have a $200 sextant?

they all say the sun and moon are in their proper place.
see http://beforeitsnews.com/story/229/227/HUGE_media_blackout_regarding_Earth_and_Moon_orbital_changes.html
you can measure the suns elevation above the horizon with simple tools like a tape measure and level.
if you wanted you could make something simple to measure the moons elevation, a protractor on a post with a swivel and open
loop sites. should be good for plus or minus 2 degrees.
me i made my measurements and got called names for my trouble.
