Moon was still up so somewhat bright, but not annoyingly so. Orion's sword was visible, so "dark enough" I guess

If I wanted to get serious about it some of the darkest part of the state is about an hour drive from me.
No telescope so my magnified observation is limited to breaking out the target rifles with 20x and 32x scopes

Needless to say, that is "at home in yard" observation only. Gotta love country living.
