Except when it is on a different schedule. It is like when you just get the subway schedule figured out in a new city, and then they do something different on Saturday and then again on Sunday! Or you get the interface figured out on the K20 and they introduce the K-7 with different buttons in different places with different functions . .. Don't ask for an explanation - I saw one and it has to do with latitude and time of year and other stuff which I understand but do not compute very well. In any case, here in mid-Michigan, the official moonrise last night and for the next few nights is: 7:15 7:38 8:01 8:26 stan On Sep 12, 2011, at 8:41 AM, Jack Davis wrote: > Thanks for the perspective clarification.
