Where on the earth you see the moon in the the default view +> you can see on web pages etc.? + +As you know, the moon keeps always the same face turned to earth (the so called +near side). This is a composition of its period of orbital motion and rotation: +they are approximately the same. The moon's orbit is inclined with respect to +the equator by (only) 5 degrees, and for our purposes, keeps the polar +orientation in the sky unchanged. This means that the angle that you +see the moon in the sky changes by a composition of two factors only: 1) +latitude of the observer, and 2) time of the day that you look at the moon. If +you look at the moon over many hours, the change of orientation in the sky is +moon's orbital plane is close to the equator (as I said before) the discussion +of orientation looses any meaning. At these positions, the passage by the +meridian happens very close to the top of your head. So, I can be facing east +and move my head up to see the moon, or I can be facing west and move my head +up. Which rotation should I addopt? That is why I told you to use 0 or 180 +degrees. Otherwise, you would need to incorporate in your code many otherif he +relations, including the latitude of the observer.he will see the first quarter +moon as a C and the last quater moon as a D (see +> The current kmoon uses the pictures of this site:l) when the moon is over +> http://timbeauchamp.tripod.com/moon/, but a (german) colleague ofes over his +> yours pointed out that the images are mirrored horizontally, son is reversed. +> we corrected that (the larger craters appear on the left ontor.

For an observer in the northern hemisthere this is +all you need to do. For an observer in the southern hemisphere, you need to +rotate this new set of images by 180 degrees. Keep in mind that in the sky if +north is up east is to the left, if south is up east is to the right. You can +easily see this if you lay down ;-/ on the floor with you head/legs pointing to +the north/south line. Now, try to point your left arm to the geographic +east while facing up. + +I hope this helps you. If you like more info, it will be a pleasure to +help.
