Dear Fren, I may have good news depending how we approach the EMB pics. But let me first say thank you for your over kind assessment of my tidal and lunar reasoning. If you only knew. I am staring at tablets of lined paper with different charts of side by side comparisons. I must say, though it my very low tech approach I can still observe trends like "precessions" of risings and settings. Pen and paper plodding. Current thots: I was impressed with that Critical Mass vid was able to provide. Starting out near TATTS had a striking resemblance to ROT1. So I did the simulation for 28AUG2015. A simulation for the approx time capture in the vid of LONDON EYE would be 7:53pm. The simulation capture at that exact time reflects an altitude of 6.56 degrees and a bearing of 118 degrees ESE (East by Southeast). Now this bearing may not be what we approximated on SV but I think the camera on SV has some wide angle fisheye effect that is difficult to estimate by. As an aside, we should adhere to proceeding from a "known" observation rather than a best estimate using "Kentucky windage." So using Nov., Dec., Jan and Feb., I looked for late moonrises and (this may be good or not) I found only a couple of matches using time, altitude and bearing, (And moon am phase. Had to eliminate some due to a too small appearance.), very close to the Critical Mass vid. January 20(not best pick) at 11pm had an alt. of 13 degrees and bearing 108 degrees. February 18 (2nd place match) at 11pm had alt. of 11.7 degrees and a bearing of 118 degrees. Not bad. Consider also our view from way up on Hungerford Bridge in ROT1 could make the Moon's azimuth appear lower. This might be cause to make some small allowance in observed altitude. February 19, 2014 is the best match for the Critical Mass vid. At 11:33pm(I walked the time forward to get a bearing match with CM vid) a bearing match at 118 degrees. Andโฆ, a pretty damn close altitude match at 6.73 degrees.
Now, we can discuss the other issues we have with LMI6 and other EMB pics being contemporaneous or not. But we have a couple of dates that actually do jibe with the CM cid(with known bearing and altitude).
Sorry I was venting frustration earlier without having taken a more focused look.
So, have some caps. Btw, have been using the TimeandDate.com site for a while here and noticed our favorite anon just used it in a recent post. Had me wondering.
Hope this may reopen some vistas on the EMB pics dig. Very best wishes, and Good Hunting!
