Isn't it true, actually, that, in general, at closest approach, the angular distance is at a minimum, the rate of change of angular difference goes through zero and hence in the region around closest approach distance is always changing minimally. Hence, this is an awful time to do Lunars for longitude in ANY situation.
All this grousing does NOT change the fact that it shurr waz perrdy! Our skies cleared in time to watch these pals saunter across the sky.
And now, back to bed
To sleep off all the nonsense I just said
