[moon] Perfectly clear view at the moment at nearly overhead

The moon last night was as far north (almost) as it can ever get, some
5 degrees above the ecliptic. This is due to the inclination of its
orbit, but it will be many years before the full moon is that high
again.

Incidentally, although thre is no midnight sun in the Shetlands, in the
far north of the islands, the moon last night (or last day) never set .

Didn't this thread crop up last February?

Nah, you're confusing it with the Deja Vu thread. I have told you before.
