Seems strange to have to view it the way it is in the Northen hemisphere.
You must have had it right the first time Mojo, it bugs me seeing it the way it is now. |
It was very wrong before. It was mirrored horizontally. For a southern view it should be rotated 180deg.
But that's what I say! I'm no an astronomer, so i can only technically get it right with formulas (eg. rise/set times). I don't know what the general concensus is for this astro 'stuff'.
But I have mentioned to *someone* that it should be upside down for us, but he said that's the way the moon is displayed.
I leave it to more knowledgable people than me to tell me what they want to do with this astronomy information.
