Rates are what one person might count under a dark sky, already brought down for how high the radiant gets here and for the Moon - not the headline figure, which assumes the radiant overhead and no light at all. Cloud is the other half, and it is on the sunset tile.

Full moon
Buck Moon
Rises 7:10 PM in the ESE
7:10 PM – 5:47 AM
Between the two 4° marks the Moon is clear of haze and most of what stands on the horizon.
The disc is biggest and most orange in the first half hour above the horizon, and moonrise here is worked out to the minute for a flat horizon.
