Sunset and moonrise tonight
Discussion
If you've ever spotted a location which would look good with a full moon rising over it then tonight could be a good night - weather permitting.
The full moon rises about 20 minutes after sunset (17:15 and 16:59 respectively in Leeds), so there will still be some light in the sky for foregrounds.
A near-full moon will rise at about 6:30 tomorrow evening, ideal for illuminating the roses/chocolates/trolley jack/Sagaris you have bought for your sweetheart.
P.S A dozen dead daffs and a Fruit & Nut from Esso still won't cut it though

My LPI for my scope has turned up today and guess what, it's bloody cloudy so no moon shots tonight
You'll probably want a full moon well above the horizon for a 'scope anyway to get away from the turbulence and light pollution. You still need clear skies though...
A similar situation next occurs on the 15th March (beware the ides etc). Sunset at 17:58, full moonrise at 18:43.
