I've seen sunsets but never a moonset. My daughter said she seen one about 2 weeks ago. Does anyone have any pictures of any?

Moonsets happen every 24 hours. The reason people see moonrises more than moonsets is that by nature the moonsets either in the early morning hours before sunrise when most of us are sleeping or they happen in the daylight hours when they are not noticed.

Here's one for you - taken facing West on the Blue Ridge Parkway near Waynesville, North Carolina on 10/17/2005 - 9 shot pano with a D70 and 18-70 Kit lens - this was long before Photoshop and digital cameras had pano stitching capability built-in. This was actually taken in the dark about an hour before the official sunrise time - the color was brought out in Camera Raw. We got up at 4:30 AM to get here for this shot. We used to go to the U.S. Naval Observatory site for sun/moon rise & set data, now we have Android tablets/phablets and a great app called Sundroid to give us that info and a whole lot more.

I am feeling kind of dumb--by moonset do you mean when the moon is visible yet in the morning when it is already light out?

Yep, The closer to the horizon, the better.

I think MT Shooter pointed out something relevant here. Moon rises and sets will be more noteworthy when the moon is full.

I use the site that MT Shooter provided the link for. There are two days of moonrise times and two moonset times around every full moon that are best for photos (not too dark or too light out). Here is the last moon SETTING I got. Unfortunately, it's often cloudy in the winter here and for this photo, I was too lazy to clean snow off the car in 15-degree morning to get out a few minutes earlier, while a bit darker, and to a place where I could get a better shot.
