There’s another aspect - useful dark time.
Despite it not being 3rd quarter last night moonrise was 12:15am, with a good 5-6 hours of darkness before that. On a midsummer at new moon you’d be struggling to get that much time.
And some societies didn’t bother to open their observing site last night; pity because it was a fairly good night in Sydney. And tonight is looking very good.
