Jerry,
Actually I cannot tell you that. It was a very dark night. In Scotland
we rarely get these very warm summer nights unless there is cloud cover.
I have no idea whatsoever about moon phase at the time, so regrettably
cannot add any more to the statements about moonlight, it was certainly
pre-dawn.
Possibly a full moon above the cloud cover? Don't know.
