Viewing score

Cloud-weighted, per hour

Weather

50/100

Fair

Score reflects cloud, altitude and darkness.

Not a scientific measurement. The index favours a Moon that is easy to see, not necessarily the sharpest surface detail.

Best time to look

Best contiguous window in the next 24 hours

No qualifying window

No two-hour window clears 50/100. Best single hour: 15:00 · Fair (50/100)

A window requires at least two consecutive hours with a score of 50 or better and the Moon above the horizon.

Why this recommendation

Waxing Crescent at 3% illumination. Only a slim crescent is lit; look soon after sunset or before sunrise, close to the horizon.
The Moon climbs to about 41° around 14:00.
Next moonrise: Wed 11 Nov at 08:57.

Limitations & methodShow

The Moon is above the horizon in daylight. The daylight score is capped because sky contrast is much lower.
The Moon stays low, so buildings, trees and haze may block the view.
The viewing score is a convenience index, not a scientific measurement of sky quality.
The Moon disc on this page is phase-correct but its orientation and surface detail are schematic; libration and parallactic angle are not modelled.
