First light (civil dawn) is when it is light enough to be outdoors without lamps, and last light (civil dusk) is when that ends. Nautical twilight is when the horizon can still be seen at sea; after astronomical dusk the sky is fully dark. Calculated for New Orleans, Louisiana (29.98° N, 90.05° W, the center of where the city's people live, from the 2020 Census) in Central Time. Times assume a level horizon at sea level; hills, buildings and weather can change what you see.
