looks a bit thick out to the east beyond Half Dome right now...

...one can calculate, but so many other factors have to work out too...

each viewing is an amazing event

you can check out this thread, which was my first effort... the weather did not cooperate, but the image was interesting. This was from Ahwanhee meadow

Here is one that was from Stoneman Meadow
as described in this thread:
http://www.supertopo.com/climbing/thread.php?topic_id=1071230

And my continuing project with the "Rowell fire fall" which I need to go up to the top of the fall (maybe next year) and shoot the sunset from there to check my calculations that are on this thread:
http://www.supertopo.com/climbing/thread.php?topic_id=1091074&msg=1091832#msg1091832

I have some other ideas, like Mikey's, for the Valley...

Nice stuff Ed!!!

Mikey... you photoshopped that shot of Dean!!
Ha, that is what Dean said to me when he saw my signature shot of
"Climber in the moon". It does take considerable work to get a good Moon shot and yours is a great one... thanks for doing all the work, natural shots are so much better than the manipulated ones!!

Ed's photos and his process are eye and mind opening. The one of the moon in the notch is particularly fine.

Anders posted my mash-up of moon and Atwell, but too small to see the wolf silhouetted. Oh, well, all my pictures are really only ideas of pictures that could be taken, with more talent and patience.

Anders got us started, but I now have the last 4 near-full moons. Quite a fluke for Vancouver. One is actually from Wyomissing, Pa, even more of a fluke.

For the most recent opportunity, the site I used to check the timing and phase of the moon had a link to tips for moonrise photography. A common way to enhance the shot was to have the moon over a mountain or city. Why not both?
