Default Video Tutorial : Locating the moonrise and moonset, quickly and accurately

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eW4kxXHCepA&hd=1


When I went out to photograph the SuperMoon last month, I found that there were a bunch of amateur photographers already out at the beach I was shooting from, but they all had their cameras pointed the wrong direction.

I made this video, which shows you how to easily locate the moonrise position with some free software, in hope that some of you don't fall victim to the same error.

Good luck!

- Matthew

The Photographer's Ephemeris is often recommended here...

I smell compressed shredded meat product.

The video is just a TPE tutorial.

Yeah, basically just a TPE tutorial. That's a photography tool.... this is a photography forum, right? If that's spam, the mods here are obviously free to delete it. Yes, I would be happy if more people watched it, obviously, which is why I posted it here. Seems like a lot of people still don't know about the program.
