The moon over Ferguson on September 25, 2026
On the night of September 25, 2026, the moon over Ferguson is a full moon at 99% illumination, rising at 6:15 PM toward 90° E — a 99%-lit disc clearing the horizon in the east. It sets at 5:43 AM.
That phase shapes the whole night. At 99% illumination the moon floods the landscape with light, washing out fainter stars but lighting foregrounds for you. For dramatic scale, shoot it low near the horizon — around moonrise at 6:15 PM — where it reads largest against buildings, hills or trees.
To keep the sky its deepest blue, work the window right after sunset (6:53 PM) into blue hour (7:11 PM – 7:19 PM), when the sky still holds colour but the moon already stands out. Ferguson's 38.7°N latitude means the moon's nightly path — and how high it climbs — shifts with the seasons; the planner tracks tonight's exact rise, set and bearings.
