Thanks DD, your suggestion to place the moon at 12 o'clock helps a lot.

Hi All, I'm really struggling to set-up maneuver nodes and could really use some advice. I've run the tutorial “To the Mun, Part 1” multiple times and still can't get the hang of adjusting the apoapsis and rotating the node around the current orbit to adjust the intercept point. The adjustments are extremely sensitive even using the precise button. I find that if I move the prograde symbol too far and the orbit expands beyond where I want it, if I pull the symbol in to reduce the orbit, it snaps back to the original size when I let it go making it impossible to change. Adjusting the intercept point is also causing me significant frustration; the intercept point is very sensitive and I can't seem to move the stick precisely enough to keep the it from jumping erratically. I'm also find that about half the time I highlight the circle symbol but can't move the intercept point. Couple other frustrations; multiple attempts to enable precision control end up switching focus to a different planet, cumbersome to get the map view adjusted to support setting up the maneuver nodes. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Right now I stuck in low orbit!
