Stan,
Skymap Pro shows the follwoing lunar data from Cherry Rd which is close
enough to your place in Dewey for goverment work:
0300:
Altitude: 42° 20' 29"
Azimuth: 259° 25' 57"
0330:
Altitude: 36° 23' 56"
Azimuth: 264° 22' 2"
0400:
Altitude: 30° 24' 55"
Azimuth: 268° 49' 33"
It looks like the the Moon will be about 90 degrees from the radiant.
Clear Skies
