Here’s a picture I took this evening of the August Full Moon on 2009 AUG 05 at 20:17:18 CDT from Arlington Heights, Illinois. That was 22 minutes after moonrise and 11 minutes after sunset. The Moon was 3.2° above the horizon, and the Sun was 2.2° beneath the horizon.
Actually at that time the Moon was in a partial penumbral eclipse, but you can’t really tell that the lower portion of the Moon was in the fringe of the Earth’s shadow. It was taken with my Sony Cyber-shot DSC-F717 at 5x telephoto, ISO 100, f/2.4 & 1/50 sec.
