The moon over New London on August 8, 2026
On the night of August 8, 2026, the moon over New London is a waning crescent at 22% illumination, rising at 12:30 AM toward 49° NE — a 22%-lit disc clearing the horizon in the east. It sets at 5:27 PM.
That phase shapes the whole night. At 22% illumination the moon throws a soft, raking light that models terrain without overpowering the sky. For dramatic scale, shoot it low near the horizon — around moonrise at 12:30 AM — where it reads largest against buildings, hills or trees.
To keep the sky its deepest blue, work the window right after sunset (8:10 PM) into blue hour (8:32 PM – 8:42 PM), when the sky still holds colour but the moon already stands out. New London's 44.4°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.
