Moonwash and twilight definitely interfered, but your image is still magical. Naked-eye viewing is helped by blocking the twilight glow with your hand. Properly dark-adapted eyes are important too. I'm not sure what kind of camera you're using, but an illuminated screen will definitely ruin your night vision.
Great photos!
