A modest Moon — bright planets and constellations are fine, faint detail less so.

The Milky Way is faint and easily lost to light pollution and moonlight. Even when the core is high, you need a genuinely dark sky — well away from city lights — and ideally a night near the new Moon to see it well from Casablanca.
