When I was a youth and spent a lot of time outdoors at night (let's not go into why I was outside at night) my eyes became very accustomed to the relative lack of light. I could see quite well on all but the darkest of nights and a full moon was almost like daylight to me. The aging process has not been kind to my eyesight and I don't have that sort of visual acuity or sensitivity these days.
