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 useful viewing window in the next 24 hours

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 13° around 14:00.
  • Next moonrise: Wed 11 Nov at 10:34.
Limitations & methodShow
  • The Moon is above the horizon in daylight. The daylight score is capped because sky contrast is much lower.
  • 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.
