Where to stand

Viewpoint: Washington & Water · New York, Washington & Water St (DUMBO)
40.70320, -73.98958

Lined up with Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn tower top, 0.41 km away. Look towards 284° from north.

Good to know

Corner of Washington St and Water St in DUMBO, towards the Brooklyn tower. Photos have not confirmed that buildings do not block the view: check in daylight first.

The tower is 400–600 m away: moving 10 m sideways shifts the moon by about 1–1.5° against its top. Treat the time as a window of a few minutes and be ready to move.

Pier 17

Moon · at rise · New York, Pier 17

From this point the rising moon sits on Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn tower top, 0.63 km away: a few hundred metres to one side is enough to miss it.
