DashPhoon can either display the Moon as it appears now, or else at some other time. In the latter case, the display can be frozen at a particular time, adjusted by keystrokes, or advance rapidly by hours or days.
DashPhoon's displays are correct* for a hypothetical observer at the center of the Earth. (This is good, because if you are at the center of the Earth, you probably cannot see the Moon directly.) Depending on where you are on the surface, DashPhoon's picture of the Moon may differ by up to about two pixels in any direction from what you would actually see.
DashPhoon is not a substitute for going outside and looking up. Do not use DashPhoon as your sole source of information when planning space travel.
* Displays may not be correct.
