Rises at 8:31PM tonight although I will see it a bit later as there is a ridgeline between me and where it will show. Got the camera set up for a photo-op as we should have some nice alpenglow - the sun sets at 8:18PM.
The Native name for tonight's moon is The Sturgeon Moon - The Old Farmer's Almanac (founded in 1792) has a nice listing of moon names and their meanings. A list of alternate names can be found at EarthSky (just scroll down the page for the listings).
