Moon Rise and Set Predictions

[Nordo]

I know the best viewing nights are immediately around the new moon (unless you want to look at the moon :whistle: ). But during the rest of the month there would be good dark viewing times when the moon has not yet risen, or has set.
Is there a method/program/calendar that can tell you moon rise and moon set for days or weeks ahead?
Thanks

PS I have Starry Nights Enthusiast 4.5, but haven't had much chance to learn how to use it yet.

Hi John.

Have you had a look at the moonphase (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/?moonphase) page on the left?

It has personalised (based on your lat/long in your profile (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/profile.php?do=editprofile)) moon (and sun) rise and set times for the next week.

In the next month or two, we'll be launching even better astronomy-data features, so stay tuned!

If you want a go anywhere solution the Astronomy 2007 publication is the way to go. I would even go as far as to say it is an essential item for just about any astronomer.

Have a look at NightCal (http://www.nightcal.co.uk/), it gives you a monthly calendar of moon phases, rise and set times and conjunctions.

Great value for a free download.

Cheers

Thanks Guys :) .
I must admit, I had looked at the moon at the left of the screen. But had only checked out the phases - I hadn't actually checked the "Details..."
