I understand what she's asking, though you are right plasmodium The answer, elanora, is that most software programs for moon phase demos are written in the northern hemisphere, and that is how they see the moon! I have another beaut program for a desktop display of moon phase with altitude and azimuth location at any time of day and it shows the moon the same way. I'm not that good with programs and I've been unable to workout how to break into it and see if I can turn it around.

So we should be asking, are there any southern hemisphere programmers out there that can write us a moon phase display that shows it the right way up for us down under?
