The pyramid would be between me and the setting sun, which means my side of the building wouldn't be lit. It would be a silhouette. Plus, the orientation of the building within San Francisco's geography means that I'd have to stand somewhere in the Bay. Can't walk on water. Yet. Nope, haven’t.

I use to drive around NYC in the '80s waiting to find the moon perched perfectly on top of the Empire state building, but it never happened. A couple of times if I had been on the case I could have found a vantage point, but the "meter was running" and I had to make money. The fact that you were able to use the Farmer's Almanac and a sextant to achieve your goal is what I'm impressed with. You didn't have the "what ever happens" strategy which I subscribe to, you did everything that you possibly could... I applaud your efforts!
