|
|---|
| 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.

| 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>
