If everyone turns their back to face the North and Looks directly UP whenever the moon is directly above them, the orientation will be the same everywhere on earth. Do not overthink is concept.

Hmmm but what if you are standing at the South Pole? You will be facing north no matter which way you turn. This of course should make it easy for someone to "turn(s) their back to face the North" because their back will be 'facing" north no matter which they face their back, or if they should want to choose to, face their face!

The problem I see arising here is where you want them to look "directly up", because as we all know at the South Pole if you want to find the moon you have to look down. Looking up for the moon would only have you viewing your feet surely?
Can the moon ever be directly above (or below for the Antarcticans) if you live outside of the tropics? Penguins with enquiring minds need to know.

Penguins are cool, leave them outta this!!!!!

Aside from penguins and Polar Bears, turning your back to the North and looking up, the moon is upside down, according to the thread starters information.

Oh and NHawk, that was a typo, I meant the Sun when I said "it's". I typed more but ended up erasing a few lines in that post.

The solution here is to perk the moon......

because it obviously Pwn's all of you.

It is too large, by a factor of over 10. If they made it correct size it would be a tiny boring circle (owing to the rather large 90 degree normal view for AH).

I know. But they can make it looks real.

I emptied my 30mm into it and it was still flying! Must be a bug.
