Moon Phases

I compiled the following table from Jeff Stetekluh's page of Sun and Moon rise and set times. Please refer to this table before you try to find the dimmer planets because I haven't noted when the moon will wash them out. At the New Moon, there's no moon. At the First Quarter, the moon rises around noon and sets about midnight. At the Full Moon the moon is bright all night. At the Last Quarter the moon rises around midnight and sets about noon.
