As the first October full moon, those who plan to catch a glimpse will witness a celestial treat as it will appear the most colourful and brightest at twilight - but only for about 15 minutes.

Usually, a full moon only rises once during twilight, but the timing of the Hunter's moon means it will rise at this time on two successive evenings.
