In the interest of cranking up the pedant-o-matic machine:

(1) If astronomical twilight and other indirect sunlight counts, then moonlight counts doubly so!

(2) If indirect and thus spatially separated sunlight counts, then temporally removed sunlight, in the form of airglow, should count as well!

(3) Starlink will also become a factor or heck, any of the planets visable in the sky as well.

Given that, the caviet of direct and indirect sunlight is a huge factor not quantified.

Yes, being "in sunlight" and seeing reflected light from the sun are two different things.
