RedBull 0 #1 August 29, 2001 While reading Michele's post in "A HopnPop, Trees, and Water", I wondered how she knew that the moon would be up when the dive discussed was to occur. So I looked around ...A moon rise calculator can be found here. Please note that the times calculated do not account for daylight savings time.Armed with this information, I think we should all pressure the powers that be at our respective DZs to organize night jumps this weekend. Full moon! I want make my first night jump, darn it!"Don't be afraid of death so much as an inadequate life." -- Bertolt Brecht Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michele 1 #2 August 29, 2001 Hey, RedBullI, uh, am psychic? Actually, having the weather forecast is good....it tends to include moonrise, as well as sunrise/sunset, so that's what I checked. Here's the website for the Perris one.....http://www.wunderground.com/US/CA/Perris.htmlCiels-Michele"What of the dreams that never die?

RedBull 0 #3 August 29, 2001 Thanks a lot for the tip, Michele. The crappy weather web site I've been using 'til now doesn't include the moon rise/set time, only the phase.Good luck with your "A" and your fun DZ.com'er sunset jump!"Don't be afraid of death so much as an inadequate life." -- Bertolt Brecht Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #4 August 29, 2001 From what I've heard,If you're leaving the Irish Parachute Club in any visiting airplane, you can "calculate that the moon will be up" every time! Several moons, actually! BWAHHAHAHAHAHA!Speed Racer"Come up to my lab,And see what's on the slab!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
