Best Answer

Those who traveled at night were often familiar with the rising and setting times of certain stars and planets. These, unlike the Moon, seem to travel at practically the same speed anytime at night, and their locations changed with the seasons in a regular manner. Of course, the rising or setting Moon would be a good indicator of east and west.
