Full moon
Full Sturgeon Moon
Rises 8:24 PM in the ESE

Named for the lake sturgeon most easily caught in the Great Lakes in late summer.
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.
