The moon over Florence-Graham on September 23, 2026

On the night of September 23, 2026, the moon over Florence-Graham is a waxing gibbous at 91% illumination, rising at 5:15 PM toward 104° ESE — a 91%-lit disc clearing the horizon in the east. It sets at 3:38 AM.

That phase shapes the whole night. At 91% 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 5:15 PM — where it reads largest against buildings, hills or trees.

To keep the sky its deepest blue, work the window right after sunset (6:48 PM) into blue hour (7:05 PM – 7:12 PM), when the sky still holds colour but the moon already stands out. Florence-Graham's 34.0°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.
