• Indication feature of direction and altitude of the Moon
You can find an approximate position of the Moon by using the doughnut-
shaped lunar age markers and the position of the ecliptic of the day obtained
on the 24-hour dial. Suppose a line from the watch center to the edge through
the dot corresponding to the lunar age of the current day on the circle of
current month of the day of doughnut-shaped lunar age markers. Next,
suppose the ecliptic of the day (ellipsoidal figure) referring to the ecliptic pass
points of the first day of the month. The node of the line supposed above and
the supposed ecliptic of the day shows the approximate position of the Moon.
Read the node through the azimuth/altitude lines on the transparent dial to
find the approximate position of the Moon in the celestial sphere.
* For example, when it is August 1 and the lunar age is 8, suppose a line from
the watch center to the edge through the dot of the lunar age 8 on the August
1 circle on the 24-hour dial and the ecliptic of the day obtained from the
ecliptic pass points of August 1. The node of the line and the ecliptic is the
approximate position of the Moon.
