Your argument has not convinced me to change my opinion.

That looks so fake.
I know right, we went to the moon and we can't hire some Mexico cliff divers to do acrobatics in our new almost zero g room. We had the best movie production and editing teams in the world. Ringling Bros. was a hit, now it's Cirque du Soleil ah la Vegas baby.
That does not apply to the questions that I raised about the video footage from Sky Lab in 1974. Wires would have become tangled during the maneuvers in the video from 1:18-1:43. This still does not provide evidence that the Sky Lab video was faked.
Thank you,

Can someone explain to me how the Moon supposedly bobs up and down? (resulting in the solar eclipse)
The problems I see:
There has to be a force acting on the Moon to cause it to dip below the Sun since they normally share the same orbital height.
The Moon should look larger when it is closer to us and yet it doesn't. (no, the optical illusion of a large Moon on the horizon doesn't count. If you take a picture, you'll see the Moon is actually the same size)
How is it that the Moon and Sun haven't collided?
If the Sun and Moon orbit each other, what would ever cause the Moon to dip below and move across the Sun? That would be like the Moon dipping below the south pole and coming up the other side in the round Earth scenario.
Many thanks!
Correct, if I can make it there, will be a few days ahead of the equinox. But still fairly close, thanks.
The deviation North for both the sunset and sunrise is the same. The angles are the same, just mirror image of each other. In your case, both are 34° (N) of due East and due West.
The autumnal equinox is September 22. Next week will be a little early but shouldn't make much difference. Stay safe and good luck with your measurements.
Trying to understand the math here. I understand the 0.01111 now as it is basically a multiplier used to convert number of degrees of latitude into a distance from the north pole, in order to find the length of one of the legs of the right triangle.
What is the 57.3 number supposed to represent?
Taking that number for granted, using the latitude 30.22749 (N) this formula calculates to a value of 56 degrees (rounded) north of west (sunset example), which then equates to a compass heading of 304 degrees. That would be roughly north west. Do you agree with that result?
57.3 is to convert the results from radians to degrees. It's 180/Pi
My results for latitude 30.22749 (N) is 34° (rounded) north of West. Not sure what happened. You can PM me if you'd like or I can send you my Excel spreadsheet.
Formula to calculate sunrise, sunset position for the unipolar flat Earth model.
...
Deviation (N°) from due West = Arctan ((90 - Latitude) * 111.1 / 10,000) * 57.3
= Arctan ((90 - Latitude) * 0.01111) * 57.3
The same formula can be used to calculate the deviation (N) due East at sunrise.
There is a difference between Flat Earth Society (http://www.tfes.org/), and THE Flat Earth Society (https://theflatearthsociety.org)
I would suspect it's run by the Flat Earth Society that runs the other forum. Why they have two forums, I don't know. Those guys are over here for reference.
I didn't make any statement about the authors or ownership of the YouTube video's where I made comments.
I've asked the question on a few YouTube video comments and on Twitter without a response. Thought I might have more luck on their forum.
We don't have a YouTube, and I imagine you may have had the wrong Twitter account. So, "their" forum may be a bit of a misnomer.
Sorry, but such equations don't exist. FE doesn't even have a definitive map, much less the ability to make the equations for the purpose of fulfilling your request.
