How is showing a picture of the moon and telling us which you you were looking when you took it showing anything deceptive? Explain yourself.
You've given no evidence of distance to the moon.-One it proves the moon is a local light miles (2000-3000) above the earth.

How does taking a picture of the moon in one direction show it's height? All you have is an angle? You can take it from two different places and then use parallax using the field of stars behind it to calculate the distance with some simple trigonometry. How do you think you're doing it?-One it proves the moon is a local light miles (2000-3000) above the earth.
Even though it only sort of works from your location but fails completely in the Southern Hemisphere?-Because i want to post post them and i will continue to post them.
Can you explain to me what he's meant to be doing?Even though it only sort of works from your location but fails completely in the Southern Hemisphere?
Despite the fact that the Day/Night maps you are using are calculating the position of the Sun and Moon using the globe model?
-Today's moon photo taken at 2:02 pm CST The camera was pointed just below the east direction. Compass shows the camera direction.

He thinks that because the direction he is looking when he photographs the moon, sort of lines up with the position of where the moon is shown to be on the Day/Night map after he transposes it to his round pancake map, that it proves the earth is flat and that the moon is relatively close.Can you explain to me what he's meant to be doing?
He's using the Day/Night map? But if you use that map to show a direct line between Sydney and Santiago across the Pacific it shows it going nowhere near the US. @d taylor can't use one map to try to prove one thing (even when it doesn't) when it completely disproves another.He thinks that because the direction he is looking when he photographs the moon, sort of lines up with the position of where the moon is shown to be on the Day/Night map...
Which uses the globe model to determine where the Sun and Moon are positioned. Incredibly ironic, isn't it.He's using the Day/Night map?
Straight lines are actually curves and curved lines are actually straight. It's ironic that they claim we fall back on refraction as a 'weak' explanation for why we can see further than simple geometry should allow, yet @d taylor wants us to believe that light bends sideways.But if you use that map to show a direct line between Sydney and Santiago across the Pacific it shows it going nowhere near the US. @d taylor can't use one map to try to prove one thing (even when it doesn't) when it completely disproves another.

That is flat out incorrect.It is not meant to give distance that has been done by people (who are flat earth believers) in the past. I mention distance because that has been the approximated distances calculated by people in the past.
This just simply shows that for a moon to be 200,000+ miles away from earth. The position/direction i point my camera to take the photo from my given position. The moon at its zenith position (200,000+ miles away from earth) over the current mapped location at the time of photo, would not be in the shot. Only a local close to earth moon will work.
It's in the shot because you are on a globe and the moon is over the horizon. It could be a gazzilion miles from earth and it will be directly above any given point but will appear at the horizon at another. The further away you move from the zenith, the lower it appears to get. On a flat earth it would be at the same apparent height wherever you are. That is obviously not correct.The moon at its zenith position (200,000+ miles away from earth) over the current mapped location at the time of photo, would not be in the shot.

If the moon is in the west then all you need do it get someone to take a picture of it from the west coast and someone else to take one at the same time a few hundred miles east. If the earth is flat, then the moon will be the same height over the horizon in both pictures. If it's a globe then the picture taken further east will show it lower.
Spoiler alert: It will show it lower.
Here's some basic maths for you.The moon goes far enought away that it goes out of the visual plane (sight) of the observer...
Here's some basic maths for you.
Circumference of planet: 40,000kms = 360 degrees.
Diameter of moon is equal to 0.5 degrees.
Planet turns once in 24 hours equals 0.5 degrees in 2 minutes, which is 55.6kms.
So if the moon is rising in the east, and someone takes a picture as the full moon clears the horizon, if someone 55 kms west of that position takes a picture at the same time, then the second picture will show the moon just starting to appear over the horizon.
Are you telling me that someone 55kms away from the first guy (that's less than 35 miles) can't see the moon? Don't talk nonsense.
I deny that whatever you think is the moon is visible to one person but not to another 35 miles away. That is patently and undeniably absurd. And you know that. You can do the experiment yourself. Look at the moon tonight and if it's in the east call a friend 35 miles away to the west. Ask them if they can see it. If they can then your proposal is proven to be nonsensical.-You can post globe numbers all you want, you might as well be posting Santa Claus stats also.
Do you deny that perspective exist and that objects appear to get smaller as they get closer to the viewers vanishing point, the farther away an object moves from the viewer.
