Yes, thanks Pat for your explanation !
I set the time to sunset and tried setting the camera to ball cam and it worked fine.
So everything is OK now, except... my putting (ha, ha !), as I missed quite a few putts on some of those tricky greens.
Thank you again, Mike, for designing this real par 3 night course !

Hello Dominque ( Holein1 ), Mike created the dark sky inside the new panorama he used ( greenpano2 )
The panorama has a limited height in the game, nothing Mike can do about it.
When your camera is set to Auto Cam, then sometimes the game shows a small piece above the pano, and then you see a piece of blue sky, thats probably what happened.
What you can do is to set the camera to: Ball cam, that is what i did and i had the whole game the dark sky, works perfect for me.
How to set the camera to Ball cam: start TW08.....go to: Options....Game
And there you can change the camera view to: Ball Cam
By the way, very nice course Mike.

Once in a while, it is nice to play a par 3 course (or a par 5 only !), just for fun, and this Grass Clippings Rolling Hills is even more enjoyable with its night version, well designed by MSR Golf, as you will find out standing on the tee box of the dogleg 2nd hole, bending sharply to the left and requiring a blind tee shot over cacti and trees to reach the green, or the straight 3rd, again with another blind tee shot over more trees and cacti.
The following holes (4th, 5th, 6th) are straight and “somewhat” easier, but getting to the green of the 7th will offer you a little challenge as it is very short (around 120 yards), making your tee shot quite tricky if you want to putt for another birdie, before moving later on to the straight 9th hole, where you will have to hit a downhill tee shot toward the green.
The back 9 is harder with more elevation changes and quite a few long shots, so don’t lose your concentration after staring at the full moon as you get ready to putt on the 11th hole, as you will need it to face the very long to get to the green, set on a mound.
The 13th hole, uphill all the way and with a blind tee shot, is quite picturesque with its fairway set between an elongated lake (on the far right) and a meandering river (on the left) flowing out into a lake, way beyond the undulating green, but you should also enjoy the 14th hole, with a blind and downhill tee shot landing onto a green, guarded by two bunkers (front and back), and the straight 15th, steeply downhill to the green and with another blind tee shot.
You will then finish with three straight holes, with the toughest one being the longest of the course, the 16th, straight and uphill all the way, before trying to find you way back to the clubhouse, guided by the moon, in time to listen, maybe, to the Pink Floyd’s album “Dark side of the moon” !
Overall, if shooting in the 50’s was nice for a change, I have, however, one question for you, Mike, as I found it strange to see a very dark sky as I teed off and... a blue sky as I got ready to putt on quite a few greens ! Thinking that it was due to my settings, I switched to night time but it did not make any difference. Do you have any explanation ?
