Below is a photo I took today 2009 DEC 01 at 16:06 CST from Arlington Heights, Illinois of the Full Moon rising. That was 29 minutes after moonrise and 15 minutes before sunset, with the Moon above the horizon by 3.7° and the Sun by 1.9°. I used my Sony Cyber-shot DSC-F717 at ISO-100, f/2.4, 1/640 sec and 5x zoom.
