View the moon from ground level

This is my first post on this forum, so hi everybody!

I am pretty sure that this is not the right place on this forum to ask this question, but for lack of finding a better place, I post here. I also posted this over at the Google Map forum: productforums.google.com/forum/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer#!topic/maps/SSdmbBFacqg;context-place=forum/maps (sorry, that link has to be copied and pasted, doesn;t work because of the bang (!) in the URL...)

I am trying to prep a photo shoot of the mega moon on Monday.

To do this, I am trying to see the moon in Google Earth / Google Earth Pro. When I run the timeline with "Show sunlight across the landscape" switched on, I can see the sun passing by when I scrub the timeline. But not the moon...

Why can't we see the moon passing by? Is there a way to visualize the moon?

I found a post here: www.quora.com/How-can-I-see-Mars-and-the-Moon-from-the-Google-Earth-app-when-using-a-phone-or-tablet
They describe to link/add a database with the moon information. But the "Add Database" menu point has been removed, or is not there on the PC (Windows).

Maybe you know of another software that would do this? I tried The Photographer's Ephemeris and Stellarium. But both don't help much. As the Photographer's Ephemeris is "only" showing the map in 2D and the Stellarium is using a generic image without the actual landscape data.

It would be prefect in Google Earth, if only the moon would be visible just like the sun when "Show sunlight across the landscape" is switched on. Something obvious to me, but apparently not to the Google Earth developers (Kappa).

Any help would be really appreciated!

Thanks,
Alex

I am searching for the exact same thing. Really strange that Google Earth Pro did not have this feature.

Have you found anything?

Hi, the G Moon was an add-on to Google Earth many years ago and development has since stopped. The stars you see from GE were also an add-on to make it a little more pleasing for some and are not accurate and the same with sunlight add-on. 
There has never been (and I doubt ever will be) the ability to view the moon from GE.

Sorry.

Thanks for your reply, however I was wondering why there is even the Milky Way in the correct position, but not the moon    doesn't seem a feature too difficult to add.

Do you know any similar program that may have this feature?
thank you

I'm sorry I don't know of any application that does that, we have members, that know more than me and even the developers of Keyhole (Google Earth) here, so keep checking back to see if there is more insight.

Thanks.

Thanks for chiming in guys.

zarolmt: I was thinking the same thing.

Let's hope someone with the ability to do this chimes in. I think this would be a really great feature even if it's not 100% accurate.

I would volunteer to help. I have some experience in 3D, so I could help with assets. But my coding is probably on the same level as my Italian. I can get into trouble but not out again...
