Viewing score 36 out of 100, weather-adjusted, Daylight viewing.

Poor

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 · Poor (36/100)

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 6% illumination. Only a slim crescent is lit; look soon after sunset or before sunrise, close to the horizon.
  • The Moon climbs to about 42° around 15:00.
  • Next moonrise: Thu 12 Nov at 09:41.
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.
