Hello Anons,
An update on our dig on the NSA_Traf_CAM-ROT1 piic Q posted.
Finding out new things.
Did you know that it is IMPOSSIBLE for a Waning Gibbous Moon to appear anywhere else but in the Southeastern night sky at midnight?
What a coincidence? That moon in our Q pic is a Waning Gibbous Moon. Can you guess in which part of the night sky Q caught it in?
Mightn't that be useful to determine the time of day our picture was taken?
And that Waning Gibbous moon. Could that be useful? How many times a year do those occur? Twelve? What if we only need to search during the Winter of 2013/2014?
But what happened to 2015/2016? After all, Q did tag that anon's post where an anon said the London Traffic Cam was Lisa and Peter, right? And everyone thought those pics were from 2015/2016? Well they are not. A bicycle in the ROT1 pic was identified as a "Boris Bike" rental. We did away with those in April of 2014. And then there is the traffic bollard seen in the Corinthia Hotel pics. A terrible and tragic accident occurred when a motorcyclist lost control and struck the very solid traffic sign in front of the Corinthian Hotel on March 5, 2014. A memorial with flowers adorned the site before and after the city decided to remove that sign and replace it with a safer, collapsible sign.
And here we are, looking now at the Winter of 2013/2014. The same year the Christmas Winter Wonderland pics were taken. And the same Winter the Piccadilly Circus/Red bus pics were taken. So here we are, looking at a day or so within each of 5 months during the Winter of 2013/2014.
The Waning Gibbous Moon usually occurs at a bearing of around 135 degrees in the night sky at midnight.
Picture in your mind a circle. The bottom of the circle is North and represents 0 (zero) degrees. East is on the left of tge circle at 90 degrees. SouthEast is at 135 degrees.
South is 180 degrees.
For later discussion about tides- this is why we seem to be seeing a high tide correlation in the wee hours around 3ish when the Moon reaches its peak height in the sky at due South (aka the Meridian).
We are seeing a high tide in the LisaMI6 around 6 meters but on its way higher. A rising tide.
Now a high tide should be be expected to coincide with the Moon at its highest (aka- at the Meridian), right? Open source stats are consistently putting high tides we are looking at in our target dates as occurring close to 3 hours after the SE 12am-ish position of the Waning Gibbous moon.
What we are seeing is agreement with open source data. From appearances, it is starting to look like our ROT1 pic is indeed after business hours for the restaurant ships, and either a weekday or Sunday, but not on a Friday or a Saturday.
Oh, those target dates for Waning Gibbous moon. We are going to do a bracket search, before and after the following dates: 10/21/13, 11/21/13, 12/20/13, 1/20/14 and 2/18/14. Any science-minded anons who want to join in the conversation, do drop in and show us what you've got over in the UK thread. Godspeed, Anons. WWG1WGA
