Moon rises during the night. Model seems to get the first part of the rise pretty well, but then the sky gets much brighter than the model. --there are actually some thick clods that roll in at the end of the night that could explain this one.
Nearly full moon rising at the start of the night (as full moons tend to do). Those are clouds hitting at the end of the night, but I'm not sure why the measured brightness goes to such a monster peak in the middle of the night.

- Running the ESO calculator over the web is really slow and painful
- The ESO model doesn't include twilight at all!
- Looks like there is an issue with the sky brightness measurements once the moon gets above a certain elevation. OR, the ESO model fails if it gets too close to the moon. I'm going back and forth on who to blame this on. Need to run an experiment with the ESO model to make sure getting closer to the moon keep making things brighter correctly.
- Looking at the movies, looks like we get plenty of contrails to the west.
