Lunar Standstills

Azimuth of full Moon on horizon
(as viewed from 55° north)
	narrowest arc		widest arc
epoch	moonrise	moonset	moonrise	moonset
minor standstill	124°	236°	56°	304°
midway	135°	225°	45°	315°
major standstill	148°	212°	32°	328°

Dear Prof. McCluskey,

The above table is presented on the wiki entry for Lunar Standstills.

I am struggling to reproduce this within Stellarium as there are no dates associated. I would be eternally grateful if you could supply (or perhaps) amend the table to include the associated dates. Also any advice you could give on how to format a jpl horizons query to return the information would be excellent.

Because epoch is referenced - Am I correct in thinking the 'epoch' is a fixed number of full moons. And that the 'midway' is a full moon midway between this fixed number of full moons ?

Any help you can give in helping me understand this table much appreciated

Thanks and regards

Brian
