Observation with 3 sec temporal resolution was recorded at Depok city (-6.392559 S, 106.761605 E) from March 15th to December 16th 2017 but I select data with rules: only 2 days after and before moon-sun conjunction and sky brightness only in range with limitation astronomical twilight after sunset to astronomical twilight before sunrise.
