| The moon will be 100% full around March 2nd or 3rd but it will be "Full Visible" between March 2nd til March 4th and then itll start phasing out again. In a couple of days the moon wont be visible at all |

Tomorrow night (May 31) will be, according to some interpretations, a Blue Moon.

| how can you find out where the moon rises and when? i am wanting to try get a moonrise along with the sunset or sunrise with moonset or vice versa... do i really just have to sit out there and watch the moon set and take notes? |

Use the Sun and Moon data link -- enter your location and the date you are interested in.
NASA's Ephemeris Generator should let you figure out the Moon's location on the horizon at moonrise.
However, I'd just watch where it rises tonight, and it should be just South of that point tomorrow night.

Thanks for the info, but i followed the link and not being of an astronomical persuasion i just couldnt figure out what all the abbreviations and numbers actually meant :)
So i did a bit of searching and found a freeware graphical representation (or Planetarium) software at:
//www.hnsky.org/software.htm
It is really quite good...
And as luck has it the next time the moon is on the horizon at sunrise is the 3rd of June (at least at my longitude/latitude)... guess what i am doing on sunday morning? ;)

Speaking of the moon, I shot the moonrise tonight, and it was great.
Went to the bluffs outside of town, got some cliffs and stuff in the foreground. My mom and I were watching for it to come up, and I noticed a big red dome in the distance, but I didn't realize it was the moon until I looked through the lens and saw the craters. Thought it was a circus tent or something, that they had just lit up. I was expecting a soft white dome.
It was a great color, and I took a bunch of pictures as it was coming up. It doesn't happen very often that it rises right after sunset to get the reddish color, especially when it's full, but it's quite a sight to see. It would be nice to shoot it coming up like that in Monument Valley or something.
Shot some Efke 25 (B&W) and Velvia, so it'll be a while before I see the results, but I think I got some decent ones. I just hope the moon isn't blown out and the color is still there. I bracketed a lot, but I didn't think of that until it was higher in the sky than what I had in mind, and used AE for most of the shots. |

Uh, it always rises right about sunset when it's full (opposite side of the Earth from the Sun), regardless of what color cast atmospheric pollutants give it.
I got quite a few pictures too, but most of them not too good, but I might be able to put together a little animation of it rising past some tree branches ... |

| Yeah I have seen it red color all the time. It is just like a sunrise or sunset cause the light gets refracted when traveling through more of the atmosphere on the horizon. |

It's full here. Was such a nice sight yesterday, was sitting just above the western horizon, driving towards Johannesburg it was awesome to see the moon just above the sky line. If only I had my camera with me....

It was full here and considered a "blue moon" since it was the second full moon of May. link

I had planned to go down to the lagoon and shoot moonrise, but this afternoon my threatening cold hit full force and I ended up in bed instead :(
It's pretty now though, at 3am :) |

From last night, another in my endless series of Madison moonrise shots:
There was a thick haze at low altitude. A few minutes earlier, the moon had emerged from a solid mass:
