Question to PC experts
Dear all, 
I would like to change the moonphase setting of my 5159 PC but without changing the time and date that are correct. The instructions say to set the time at 6 AM but I assume that, in fact, I should just avoid doing it between 8PM and 2AM. Any other time is fine. Right ?

I was led to believe..........
That the moon phase makes its daily adjustment, in the morning between 09.00 - 11.30 hrs.
