Nights are TOO bright. Any theories?

Hi all, first time poster, short time lurker, long time GWX user here. I've got what seems to be a unique problem: It doesn't get dark enough at night. I will post several pictures, all of which will have the local time showing on the screen except the first one, which was taken at 22:00 on May 8th just west of Scotland.

As you can see, the sun does go down, but the twilight lasts much too long. When it's overcast, the clouds are too bright at night. And sometimes during bright sunny days, the men's faces have way too much light on them.

What's odd is that I've found forum posts describing opposite problems: "black sky during the day," "nights are too dark" etc. Haven't found a single example of this problem though.

This is only my first patrol since a recent reinstall. I can't imagine any of the mods I'm using would have any impact on the skybox, but something must be screwing with it.

Details on my game:
mods:
- GWX
- SH3 Commander
- SH3C+GWX compatibility patch
- DBSM
- Ahnenerbe WideGUI 1920x1080 Final
system:
Win 10
game running in compatibility mode for XP SP3, as admin

Thanks for your consideration, all, whether or not anyone has any idea!
