Geocache Description:

This is the fourth and final of four caches dedicated to classic albums.

'The Dark Side of the Moon' must be the most celebrated album of all times.
This Pink Floyd masterpiece spent a staggering 741 weeks in a row in the US Billboard chart.


You will not find the cache at the posted coordinates (although you can find a very nice moon mosaic here), but the actual cache is not far.

You have probably noted some strange spherical notations in the previous three classic album caches:
Magical Mystery Tour (Archived), A Day at the Races and Standing on a Beach (Archived).

You need to work out what these notations mean and use the following formula to construct a set of coordinates (Degrees - Minutes - Seconds):
S 34° AB' CD.E" E 138° FG' HI.J"

However these coordinates are not the final coordinates. You need to add Time to one set and subtract Eclipse from the other to find the final location of this cache. For the geochecker you need to convert these coordinates into the regular numbers.


Important Note: With the sad demise of Classic Albums I and III, there is only one physical hint to find. the other two hints can be found on the original cache page as part of the archive note.
