Narrative:
I landed 30 mins after evening civil twilight, then took off 10 mins after on same unlit runway. Although the visibility was good and a full moon was out, I believe I pushed my good judgement slightly. I have vowed since to pay close attention and adhere to legal daylight for unlit runways and draw the line accordingly on future flight plans.
