Yes, I'll start tomorrow. Was going to do it last weekend, but got too busy with other things.

I used a milkshake straw for my sight.
After you finish yours we'll have to find out how far apart we are distance wise.

I just tried this site that says "There are 2,314.51 mi between my town and your town and there are 2,751 mi by road."

I forget.
I was just trying to do the math with how I thought we could do it. I don't think it will work. The base of our triangle wont be big enough. There still should be a way for us to do this.

I was just reading that we could do it by using parallax. If we both took a photo of the moon showing background stars at the same time we might be able to figure it out.

OK, we'll give that a try.
It looks like the remnants of that storm will get in the way until the end of the month, though. I've decided to stop guessing at when we'll get a clear night again since the forecast keeps changing.
