Twilight Photography Service Times
Golden Twilight
Golden twilight photographs are taken as the sun is setting beginning 60 minutes before sundown and offer excellent lighting for areas that have harsh contrasting shadows during the day.
Civil Twilight
Civil twilight is generally the first 15-23 minutes after Sun Down. Interior lights are starting to glow, and a hint of the sun can be seen at the horizon.
Nautical Twilight
The sun having left the horizon, Nautical twilight offers richer skies, deep glowing windows, and illuminated clouds.
Astronautical Twilight
Somewhere between 30-45 minutes after sunset, astronautical twilight can be captured. These require long exposures, and will have dark areas where lights are not installed.

Twilight Description
The Golden hour is the hour before the sunset. This can be a perfect time to capture high contrast locations as the sun is drifting away. In Real Estate Photography, Twilight can refer to any photos taken just before sunset or following sunset.
Civil Twilight, Dawn, and Dusk
Civil twilight occurs when the Sun is less than 6 degrees below the horizon. In the morning, civil twilight begins when the Sun is 6 degrees below the horizon and ends at sunrise. In the evening, it begins at sunset and ends when the Sun reaches 6 degrees below the horizon. Civil dawn is the moment when the center of the Sun is 6 degrees below the horizon in the morning. Civil dusk is the moment when the center of the Sun is 6 degrees below the horizon in the evening.
Brightest Form of Twilight
Civil twilight is the brightest form of twilight. There is enough natural sunlight during this period that artificial light may not be required to carry out outdoor activities. Only the brightest celestial objects can be observed by the naked eye during this time. Several countries use this definition of civil twilight to make laws related to aviation, hunting, and the usage of headlights and street lamps.
Nautical Twilight, Dawn, and Dusk
Nautical twilight occurs when the center of the Sun is between 6 degrees and 12 degrees below the horizon. This twilight period is less bright than civil twilight and artificial light is generally required for outdoor activities. Nautical dawn occurs when the Sun is 12 degrees below the horizon during the morning. Nautical dusk occurs when the Sun is 12 degrees below the horizon in the evening. The term, nautical twilight, dates back to the time when sailors used the stars to navigate the seas. During this time, most stars can be easily seen with naked eyes, and the horizon is usually also visible in clear weather conditions. In addition to being important to navigation on the seas, nautical twilight also has military implications. For example, the military forces of the United States use nautical twilight, as reflected by the terms begin morning nautical twilight (BMNT) and end evening nautical twilight (EENT), to plan tactical operations.
Astronomical Twilight, Dawn, and Dusk
Astronomical twilight occurs when the Sun is between 12 degrees and 18 degrees below the horizon. Astronomical dawn is the time when the center of the Sun is at 18 degrees below the horizon. Astronomical dusk is the instant when the center of the Sun is at 18 degrees below the horizon. During astronomical twilight, most celestial objects can be observed in the sky. However, the atmosphere still scatters and refracts a small amount of sunlight, and that may make it difficult for astronomers to view the faintest objects. Before astronomical dawn and after astronomical dusk, it is astronomical nighttime, when no indirect sunlight is visible and even faint celestial objects can be seen, weather permitting.
