Twilight

This was taken from the same window as the sunset but four hours later, in the middle of the night shortly before 2am. At the moment unless it’s cloudy, the sky here doesn’t really get dark at night as it’s the nautical twilight. The distant red glow shows that the sun is not too far below the horizon even though it’s the middle of the night.

There are three types of twilight times–
Civil when the sun is 0 – 6 degrees below the horizon and it is still possible to see things outside without a light.
Nautical when the sun is 6 – 12 degrees below the horizon named when sailors could no longer reliably rely on the horizon to guide them.
Astronomical when the sun is 12 – 18 degrees below the horizon and it is possible to see many stars.
After that it is completely dark without artificial light.

The photo shows some nearby lights but are mainly those of distant ships anchored on the Forth and towns on the Fife coast. (The hedge is lit by a street lamp and perhaps someone knows what the star is)
The photo is unaltered apart from being cropped.
