That was a pretty amazing bit of trivia, which got me thinking about the next time a February ocurs that is without a full moon, so I went and checked 3 or 4 "moon calculators" online.
Now here's the snag - they all tell me that there
was a full moon in February 1865 - Feb 10th, approx 16:25 UTC.

Can you tell me where you got your data from Leon because now I'm curious to delve a bit deeper and see which February's do and don't have full/new moons.
