3 | <h4>Moon rise/set</h4>
|
---|
4 | Moon rise, moon culmination and moon set are always caluclated such
|
---|
5 | that the time displayed refers to the next moon rise, culmination or
|
---|
6 | set respectively. A blue background marks the next event to happen.
|
---|
7 |
|
---|
8 | <h4>Disk</h4>
|
---|
9 | The moon disk is the visible brightness of the moon. The time in brackets
|
---|
10 | is the time to the next moon set or rise, depening on which event
|
---|
11 | happens earlier. An up-arrow denotes that it is the time to the moon rise,
|
---|
12 | a down-arrow that it is the time to the moon set.
|
---|
13 |
|
---|
14 | <h4>Position</h4>
|
---|
15 | If the moon is above horizon, its current position is displayed in local
|
---|
16 | coordinates. The background color represents
|
---|
17 | <ul class='help'>
|
---|
18 | <li>The moon is above 25° zenith distance</li>
|
---|
19 | <li>The moon is between 25° and 45° zenith distance</li>
|
---|
20 | <li>The moon is lower than 45° zenith distance</li>
|
---|
21 | <li>The moon is not visible</li>
|
---|
22 | </ul>
|
---|
23 | The assumption is that the further the moon is from the zenith, the
|
---|
24 | more light is scattered and the more influence the moon has on
|
---|
25 | the observations. It does not directly translate into the particular
|
---|
26 | observation conditions or observability.

28 | <h4>Source distance to moon</h4>
|
---|
29 | The table displays the angular distance between the sources from the
|
---|
30 | database and the moon at any time of the day. The colors represent
|
---|
31 | <ul class='help'>
|
---|
32 | <li>No moon light is directly hitting the G-APDs</li>
|
---|
33 | <li>The distance is very close to the direct or indirect field-of-view of the cones.</li>
|
---|
34 | <li>The moon is within th efield-of-view. This condition should be avoided as much as possible.</li>
|
---|
35 | </ul>
