Also it comes up around the same time each night, so we get several nights in a row where we get people who notice the full moon coming up right around 7:30 p.m. The harvest moon, unlike a lot of the other full moons of the year, does look a little bit different, always a little bit orange because perhaps there is dust in the air at this time of year.
The full moon will be coming up at, or just after, sunset, so you can get a nice shot of the full moon coming up over a road or an east-facing highway. It's the full moon that also rises directly opposite the sun, so if the sun's setting due west, the full moon will be coming up almost due east, so there's another photo-op for you on Monday night, the night of the full moon itself, the harvest moon, or the night before on the Sunday night it's not bad either. Q: How does the so-called harvest moon factor into all of this?Ī: The harvest moon is officially the full moon closest to the equinox, and this year, the harvest moon is almost on the equinox, three days later on the Monday night. Here in the prairies most of our roads and highways are going east-west, north-south, so it's an opportunity to shoot the setting sun right down the end of a highway or road or rising in the morning, so it's a photographic opportunity. Q: Why does the equinox matter to stargazers?Ī: We like to have those longer nights so that we can do some stargazing, but photographically a fun thing to note is around the equinox in September and in March, are the only dates when the sun sets due west and rises due east.
