['Supermoon' tomorrow] Sun/Moon-rise/set App

[tomos]

'Supermoon' tomorrow (2016-11-14)
It's nearer the earth than it has been in over 50 years.

How visible this size difference will be, I dont know. Most at moonset tomorrow morning I think, but probably also at moonrise later in the day.
So, when's that?

Cue app to show when and where the moon will rise in your location -

I found Time And Date easier to understand (being a complete astronomy noob):



Next one is on December 14 and then you have to wait a year for the following.



As to which direction I can see it, I'll look for the big bright thing in the night (assuming there's no clouds)

^ Time and Date was linked as well (in the source link) -- yeah, lots of good info there.
Maybe cause I like maps, or tend to be very 'visual', I found the other easier to get into.

As to which direction I can see it, I'll look for the big bright thing in the night (assuming there's no clouds) 

The advantage of the other one, for photographers in particular, is that they can find/choose a location with something specific in the foreground for rising/setting of the moon, maybe woods, or a lake.

True but since it was cloudy last night, direction became kind of irrelevant for me

and I simply missed it
it took much longer to rise than stated due to a wooded high ground in that direction, and then I got distracted by something else
Missed it by less than an hour I'd say -- at that stage it was quite high already, very bright, but not looking particularly big (which I guess most people know only happens when it's near the horizon).

Here's a guy who did it properly:
How I Photographed The Supermoon

worth looking around the 55 second mark: he shows an app called SkyView that superimposes the moon/stars etc on the camera view, including showing what time the moon will be at different heights. (Difficult to describe, just look)
