    Is this the correct setting for today.

    The moonphase will 'click' forward one more step at midnight.

    Any comments will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks and have a great weekend :-)

    Well, it's a full moon right NOW - so 2 days.

    Nad - it appears your moon phase is 2 days behind. So, you can advance it 2 clicks. Tomorrow will be one day past new.

    Great looking watch.

    I guess official UTC full moon is tomorrow...

    So, perhaps advancing 1 day should do it.

    Although all my IWCs are currently displaying a full moon - and most Moon phase calendars on line that I consulted show today as the full moon.

    Link to North American Moon Phase Calendar...

    Nad - if you're in North America (today) - this calendar in the link below, as well as several others that I found - indicate that 29 JAN 2010 is a full moon.

    Yes. That's exactly where all my moons are...

    Sorry for the confusion with all my earlier posts - even the link I provided indicates that the full moon is tomorrow on 30 JAN, not 29 JAN as I indicated.

    This story should clarify the full moon for tonight. Unfortunately, my skies are overcast and 6 - 8 inches of snow are expected tomorrow (30 Jan).

    It's a blue moon for me

    I didn't get the full moon on December 31, it arrived on January 1, so tonight (January 30) makes it a blue moon. But it gets better - there will be no full moon for February, the next arrives March 1 which means I'll get another blue moon on March 30.

    Cheers from the cellar

    Hi Nad, technically Moon phase follows Zulu >

    but there is also a Local time base used.

    This U.S. Navy site shows Zulu time base. Click on "Data Services". aa.usno.navy.mil/

    This URL shows Sun/EArth/Moon positions in real time...
    jove.geol.niu.edu/faculty/stoddard/JAVA/moonphase.html

    This URL will let you set what the Moon looks like on any day from any place your are on Earth...

    BTW: Congrats on the Portofino Nad. I almost just purchased one too...Then, I bumped into this new JLC USNS :-)

    Nad, buy a PPC and you will have the

    exact answer. Unless it is the one day out of 577 years it needs adjustment.

    Hi Richard! You once gave us this site

    I think 3 years ago. It tells the full moon is on the 30th.
