tried several times; all with similar results. currently, being at truk; from midway, I came up with a 2:08 hour difference. date is 20Nov43. sun up is listed 6:27 and measured time was 7:08 or 0:41 difference. sun down is listed at 17:00 and measured time was 18:54 or 1:54 difference. so far, really confusing;

, why the differences?

so then checked when the moon rose and it peeked out at 02:30. the listing for moon rise/set is:
Nov19 23:35 12:23
Nov20 ' - ' 12:59
Nov21 00:28 13:33

For Nov20, if the ' - ' means zero, at least closer to the 2:08.

So what does the ' - ' mean? that measured moon rise was at 02:30 on 'Nov21'; but the chart list 00:28 for the 21st.

so far, all the moon phases' have been correct and all though I measured a lot of weird times: still find this all useful for planning.
