  • Use a moon filter if the glare is uncomfortable through a telescope.
  • Look for bright ray systems such as Tycho and Copernicus.

Visibility, honestly

Below the horizon at the exact moment — look near moonrise or moonset.

A phase is a global instant; whether it is above your horizon depends on location. Weather is not included here. Check the tonight outlook for cloud cover and a viewing score. No eclipse or conjunction claim is made on this page.

Phase times from Astronomy Engine. Rise/set and altitude use atmospheric refraction. Method
