Re: Stereo of the Moon

Heady from his diet, Dr. T. replys to R J Thorpe:

But George, it doesn't follow YOU as it rotates, or even Greece for that 
matter, it follows the Earth. So, the 30:1 figure would pretty much still hold.

The stereos I've seen of the moon, taken at it's greatest angular disparity 
along it's elliptical orbit, ran about 3 degrees.

There was a discussion on this about 2 years ago. I think The Great John 
B may have supplied some formulas. Or was that for something else ?!?
