The other thing about the web-page is that I wrote that article in 2001, at mid-metonic cycle.

2006 is a year of extreme moon rise/set. Unfortunately I forgot to take bearings at the Winter Solstice and have also missed my chance at the last equinox. So at the Summer Solstice I plan to take bearings for both events to determine which extreme it is, which the method I outlined on the web-page cannot tell you.

I could look this all up somewher probably, but it's much more fun to actually collect the data yourself :-)

Just to clarify, in case anyone else wants to help out, I need to know if the Moon is setting 5 degrees north or south of where the Sun is setting this year. This could be determined on any day, so long as a bearing is taken for the place of sunrise/set as well. It's just that this bearing is known at the Solsti and Equinoxes, so no extra bering is needed.

Cursuswalker, hello,
I have been doing quite a bit of that myself in the past couple of months.
I see from your web ( which by the way I had to type in to go to ?, this is happening all the time on this site ? )
that you live in Sussex, I would like to meet upat some point ?
I feel it is paramount that I fully get to grips with all the planetry alignments, and the way they are moving.
I can with two dowsing rods find all the alignments that you so painstackingly find and record.
At Avebury it would take me ten minutes to show all the alignments, set in stone, as such.
The cursus and ditches around the circles are what matter , along them cursuswalker, travels that which will be, and that which has been.
I prefer to walk along the cursus with that which will be, that one spins the way I do.
We need to learn how to avoid the other one, as long as possible, or are fortunate enough to avoid, its job is to destroy.
Both can be enticed to follow a straight path, for a while, but they both naturally snake along, as a giant serpent would, if you could SEE them.
