My theory is simple, during night time portions if you dont have to turn off the lights to play or hide under a blanket during the day, then your gamma is too high. You should have difficulty making out the horizon. Dark distant objects should blend in well with the dark sea and similar dark sky.

If the target between you and the moon you shoul dbe hoping to make out the silhouette against objects behind it that are softly illuminated, if you are between the target and moon, you'll be looking for those surfaces facing the moon that are softly illuminated. A full moon shoul dsoften the blackness of teh sky, allowing it to be more of a dark, ashy gray making it a bit easier to distinguish the horizon.

As far as I can tell on my screen...its too bright for dead of night and no moon.
