Northerly moonrise

21 Dec 2018 96
The moon had been up a half hour or more when I took this picture just after sunset today. Today being the northern hemisphere's winter solstice, the sunset was pretty well the most southerly sunset. The Full Moon is actually a day or two away but, as a result of being nearly full, the moon was nearly opposite the sun, so it rose pretty close to its most northerly point. I didn't have a compass with me, but looking at the map, I'd say the moon rose just north of NE.
