Hmmm... I've not used Stellarium in the way you wish use it to achieve moon positioning. I'm at work right now and not able to run Stellarium, but from memory, is there a "jump to time" option where you input the time and date you wish to display in Stellarium? Could use that to jump forward (and backward) in time in small increments once you have the approximate time/location with the j, k and l keys? Guess I didn't realize the level of precision you were looking for. To get an approximate time the moon is coming over the Wasatch for photography, I run it quickly forward on the date I desire. As I approach the moon level I'm looking for, I begin slowing it up and finally stop it at the elevation I desire and look at the time. Thats the time I need to be ready for photography. I only need rough estimates for my use. Bruce Equipped with his five senses, man explores the universe around him and calls the adventure Science. - Edwin Powell Hubble
