A setup shot shows the very new crescent Moon, just a sliver mind you, behind whispy clouds. The very next shot shows the crew riding their horses through bright Moonlight worthy only of a full Moon on a clear night. It stays that way for the rest of that night.

While it is certainly bad astronomy, movies and television shows shot in complete darkness are not always interesting.
Has the BA ever brought up this subject? Virtually all "night scenes" on film and video are lit up like a full moon. Presumably this is so we can actually see the action.
What I find a hoot is some of those old westerns, where night scenes were obviously filmed during the day and then darkened.
