    It’s close to the moon atm if you have a decent pair of binoculars or a telescope

      Where are you from? That can depend on the location.

        Location on Earth will change timing for really precise events like occultations. Location on Earth will not affect any DSO’s visual “closeness” to the moon, especially not at the low zoom scale of binoculars. Hemisphere will only change which is on top. At 1/40th the distance to the moon, moving from pole to pole only changes the view the amount standing 1 foot to the left changes the view of an object 40ft away

          Difficult to identify one’s location without giving away the hemisphere.

              I get the joke, assuming you’re being tongue in cheek, but when that ambiguity still remains, one’s location is still not given. Hemisphere is a subset of all locations, so superfluous information. But yeah, I was just kidding around.

                Yeah, likewise :-)

                And you’re right of course.

          By having the location specified I would know the hemisphere too
