If Earth had a smaller second moon, what would the sky look like?

+0
−0

I am creating a fantasy world in which Earth has a second moon with an orbit between Earth and the current moon. The orbit of this new moon is faster because it's closer to earth. I'm not much concerned with realism, just how would it look from Earth: would the new moon be visible in the sky?

Would the new moon be tide locked or would it spin?

What information do I need to calculate when it would cross paths with the current moon. I've done some research on similar questions here on Worldbuilding.

I found this on one of the questions; it's a good example of what I have in mind for this alternate-earth

enter image description here

Using something like this how can I chart when the moon cycles would align?
