Shine On Harvest Moon

[Weather-history]

The Harvest Moon is this Sunday, the full moon that is closest to the autumnal equinox.

Your obviously the man to ask as I saw your blue moon post as well :lol: I am trying to learn about the moons movements. So I would like to know when the moon will rise, how it will move through the sky and when it will set.

I had read that August is harvest moon-one of the loveliest as it hangs low over the ripe cornfields (Obviously you need cornfields for this one)

and

September-Hunters moon-very large and low to the horizon

Are these two statements correct ? Is there more than one hunters moon or does it change each year ? Can you recommend a book,website or something that will explain when the moon will rise, how it will move through the sky and when it will set. I have looked for so long to try and get a moon positioning compass but sadly they dont do them any more
