Read the moonrise time of the following day as it won't rise 'till a little before 1AM on Sunday morning. This is a common mistake made by many, including myself.
Even though astronomical twilight doesn't end 'till 10PM, giving us a few hours... so? We don't observe? A few hours of dark skies is better than not observing at all.
Clear skies,
Alvin

FYI...Astro twilight ends at about 10pm making this less than 2 1/2 hour
window of opportunity.
