I used KStars 1.0 and it somewhat agrees with your anonymous source. I chose Freiburg, Germany as my location (which according to wikipedia.com is next to the Black Forrest). The Moon phase is given as 67% waxing gibbous, rises at 15:41, sets at 01:55, and at 10:30 PM was at an altitude of only 18 degrees, so it may not have been visible in a valley. Jupiter rises at 23:10, but only passes an altitude of 20 degrees at about 1:25 AM. I wonder if the difference in my numbers from the numbers you forwarded are due to the different location or innacuracy in my software... Chuck Hards wrote:
