All,
"I saw the Old Moon in the morning and the Young Moon the evening of the following day". So says the legend.
The Moon will be 19-20hrs from New on the morning of the 20th and 19-20hrs past New on the evening of the 21st for Australia and New Zealand. As the New Moon is occurring near the December (was winter but I know HOughy may be lurking about) solstice the Moon will be very "observable" at both ends of this event.
Clear, dark skies,
Ed
