If so, I'll be more than happy to measure the moon's altitude as it crosses the merdian on the 22nd/23rd (weather permitting). Just for reference, here's the data ahead of time for those dates (for my location):
That is good, but what I would really want is for you and others to post data on Moon phase peaks so we can all compare the altitude readings.
No Grant, you misunderstand.

You have a theory that needs to be tested. I'm willing to do some research to either prove or disprove your theory.

Besides, what's a "moon phase peak" anyhow? And, why can't you provide data as well?
