Most of us use Stephen Trainor's outstanding Photographer's Ephemeris to help determine ideal locations for moonrise/set locations. Another tool for photographers to complement that app. and to help determine the altitude of the moon is the simple, make-it-yourself Astrolabe. Hasn't changed much in 2000+ years!

Wow, I just look up and then move left or right.
Thanks, John. I'll try to figure this stuff out. Wish you could make the shindig, as it would be great to meet you!

Glad you found it useful John! Just don't get caught using it in the field. People look at you like you're on drugs or something...or worse yet...think you're an uber-geek! :-)
