I recommend an app called Photopills as it is invaluable in planning photographs and will show you the position of the Sun, Moon and Milky Way from any location at any time. It has a bit of a learning curve and for that I recommend some online videos to master the basics.

See https://www.photopills.com

It's not free but worth every cent. You can for example search for when the moon will rise over a particular landmark. You can see this on a map or in augmented reality mode. The moon rise and set times as well as azimuth and altitude vary within the lunar monthly cycle but there are other cycles (19 year & 57 year come to mind) where the moon will rise/set at at particular azimuth.

Check out the tutorial videos first at the Photopills Academy. See https://www.photopills.com/videos/pl...-and-moon-info and https://www.photopills.com/videos/ca...ality-views-ar

Enjoy!
