no, it isn't the moon light... it is the neighbor's "street lights"...
we have one that we own and we keep it turned off mostly... however,
there are two neighbors to the south and east that each have one and
another neighbor to the north and west... all are greatly blocked by all
of the trees between us but the skyglow from those lamps is still
hampering... especially when i get on top of the house with the
telescope and try to get a good look at much of anything :?
