This full moon, which is also known as the Blood Moon or Hunters Moon, guided hunters ahead of the lean winter.
It will fall in the first week in October - and be at its brightest at 7.40pm.
The Harvest Moon typically falls in September, but every three years (including 2023), it falls in October.
This particular name is given to the full moon which is closest to the September equinox, but as the astronomical seasons do not match up with the lunar month, it can sometimes fall in October.
My telescope is at the ready, hot chocolate purchased. I'm all set. Some music to pipe outdoors is selected.
