Abstract
Displayed daygraphs of magnetic observatory hourly mean values and of lunar magnetic variations reconstructed from spherical harmonic coefficients are used to illustrate the difficulties that arise in separating lunar magnetic effects from those associated with the 27 day recurrence tendency in magnetic activity.
