NYCkayaker NYCKayaker Digest, Vol 14, Issue 9

[Geoff K.]

I thought I had you on the name of the most recent full moon. However, 
with a little research, the 10/6/06 full moon was indeed the Harvest 
Moon. Normally, the October full moon is called the Hunters Moon, but 
the technicality here is that the Harvest moon is the full moon closest 
to the autumnal equinox. Since the September full moon was on 9/7, the 
10/6 full moon would indeed be the Harvest Moon this year.

The Farmers Almanac <http://tinyurl.com/389fd> also confirms this, btw...
