Civil twilight finally ends — full dusk — at 8:36 PM.

After dark, the moon over Murrells Inlet is a waning crescent at 22% illumination, rising at 1:34 AM toward 56° NE. The city sits at 33.6°N, which brings a moderate seasonal change in day length: through August the days are drawing in and the point where it sets is sliding back toward the south, so every one of these times drifts gradually from day to day. The planner above recomputes all of them for whatever date you select.
