FEAT OF CLAY

26. Still Box Score

Diary Line 14 logs, Night of the 5th, beginning of the night, the moon passed towards the east 1 cubit [above/below] the bright star at the end of the Lion's foot.

At sunset on June 24th (night of the 5th), TheSky computes the moon was high in the western sky, nowhere near a "bright star at the end of the LionĂ­s foot." The Skyshot shows the moon in Virgo. It had passed through Leo a couple of days earlier, at which time it was nearby Venus. (See SkyShot) Clearly, the computed position of the moon does not match the Diary record.
