The moon over Mentor-on-the-Lake on September 23, 2026
On the night of September 23, 2026, the moon over Mentor-on-the-Lake is a waxing gibbous at 90% illumination, rising at 5:56 PM toward 107° ESE — a 90%-lit disc clearing the horizon in the east. It sets at 3:50 AM.
That phase shapes the whole night. At 90% 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 5:56 PM — where it reads largest against buildings, hills or trees.
To keep the sky its deepest blue, work the window right after sunset (7:20 PM) into blue hour (7:40 PM – 7:48 PM), when the sky still holds colour but the moon already stands out. Mentor-on-the-Lake's 41.7°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.
