Thank you for presenting this example. I hope it helps highlight the importance of working with precise time data. Since software and online tools show the Moon at around 27°55'06" for both Fuyuan and Tashkurgan at 12:00 UTC+8, this strongly reinforces the value of adjusting planetary computations in the way you’ve suggested.

“Bethia, thanks for the killer point - software’s 27°55’06” for both Fuyuan and Tashkurgan misses their 2.5° Moon difference. UT1 fixes it, like LAST gives unique MCs for different observers. More of this!”

I want to save this important example as full text to my phone. Any suggestions on how?

No idea, Mark, not as text. Maybe as a JPEG using a scroll or full page function.
