There are 2 moons in the game:  Masser, the larger of the 2 moons, and Secunda, the smaller.  For each moon, check the check box next to its name for it to appear in the game.  Uncheck it if you do not wish for it to appear.
The phase length slider determines the length, in days, of each moon phase. There are 8 phases in the game so whatever number you choose, multiply it by 8 to determine the length, in days, of a full cycle.

Masser and Secunda always rises from the northeast and set in the southeast. Masser has a fixed time that it rises and sets. Always rising at around 8PM and setting a little after 4AM. Secunda however appears to have irregular moonrise and moonset times but it is actually orbiting around Masser. Secunda will rise 4hrs earlier than the last day over the course of 5 days, until it is 20 hours behind Masser. On the final day, Masser and Secunda will rise in conjunction. This means Secunda will appear twice in the same day.


Masser and Secunda always rises from the northeast and set in the southeast. Masser has a fixed time that it rises and sets. Always rising at 8PM and setting at 4AM. Secunda however has a more varied moonrise and moonset patterns, but the patterns are 12 hours apart(ex, if Secunda sets at 4AM, it will rise again at 4PM). Every 4 days, Secunda will rise and set at the same times as Masser. The lunar phases appear in a different order than from Earth's moon, if going by the phases seen in Skyrim: New Moon, Waning Crescent, Last Quarter, Waning Gibbous, Full Moon, Waxing Gibbous, First Quarter, Waxing Crescent.
The lunar phases in Skyrim: New Moon, Waning Crescent, Last Quarter, Waning Gibbous, Full Moon, Waxing Gibbous, First Quarter, Waxing Crescent.


By default, phases are 3 days long. It is a Full moon on the first day of its phase when the game starts(Sundas, 17th, Last Seed), and a New moon on the last day of its phase on the last day of Last Seed 4E 201.

Masser travels at a speed of 0.25 units per second, over a distance of 7,200 units, while Secunda travels at 0.30 units per second over a distance of 8,640 units.
Masser travels at an orbital speed of 0.25 units per second, over a distance of 7,200 units, while Secunda travels at an orbital speed of 0.30 units per second over a distance of 8,640 units. The orbital speed values are from the Game Settings, fMasserSpeed and fSecundaSpeed.


Also, the moons rise and set a little earlier than the times listed here, thus the listed times are the result of rounding to the nearest hour.
Clarifying the moonrise/set times using Masser as an example: Masser always begins to fade into view between 7:30-7:40 PM and begins to fade out of view alittle after 4:00 AM
