The moon on Feb 1 1959
This very weak representation about the moon of that day, to be exact at night when there were events. The analytical approach can be more thorough: I will result figures and time of occurrence of the moon, and as prospective condition of weather, and particularly overcast:
On February, 01st, 1959 the sun has sunset lower horizon at 18:04 local time or 6.04 PM in the American standard. Civil twilight (as the sun has fallen to 7 degrees below horizon) have come at 19:04 or 7.04 PM in the American standard.
At the night from 01 for February to 02nd the moon should ascend over horizon at 05.17 AM in the American standard (in our standard this time coincides), to azimuth = 126 degrees (it about the South-East) and had the size of 39 % from full size. Morning twilight 1959 began on February, 02nd at 9.26 AM in the American standard, and the moon was on the ball at 8.14 AM in the American standard 14 degrees over horizon that little more above than corner between kind upwards from cedar and corner of visible crosspiece of mountains in the South and the South-East. It is necessary notice that on settlement weather forecast at this time still there was a low overcast which is well visible on two last pictures when Dyatlov group goes to tent place in the afternoon in February, 01st 1959.
If to show all this situation on map it will look so:
Here inscriptions are write in Russian, but they should be easily understood on figures about which I now spoke. If it will be necessary explain and result conformity of words write please in this forum and then I will give transfer. Now I do not have initial file in CorelDraw! Format and I could correct that at once.
Going down and in the direction of the wind (so the wind blows in your back) is the only way to go.
As the directional marker can be used it, but they hardly could that that to see except dim contours of dark subjects. Besides, his feet is bear downwards under such circumstances.
The day before they saw what's around, they really don't need light to make the decision, is the only way.
In the afternoon when they went to tent place, they too saw no more than could see at night. Especially if there was same fog (and I am very similar to it on the same pictures about which spoke) as at us was on March, 12th 2019 when we left from cedar to pass and aside " Ilyich base ".
Also why leave a perfectly good flashlight turned off on top of the tent?
But then again, there was no snow on top of the flashlight, so we don't know when was it left or was it moved.
It is very logical question. About this small lamp spoke and wrote already more than one month after it saw. And saw it already after Boris Slobtsov and Michael Sharavin examined tent. Some years ago Michael Sharavin in one of our conversations has told that there can be even it they could put it on snow when examined tent on February, 26th 1959. They little that remembering from those events that were on February, 26th, but it quite could be so.

Unfortunately my the cover and glass on reflector has not remained.
About places of find and estimation of condition small lamps and elements of electricity I will not have time tell today about it.
