One reason I'm glad to have learned in the Robby. Our POH states in its Limitations section;

"VFR operation at night only permitted when,...Orientation during night flight must be maintained by visual reference to ground objects illuminated soley by lights on the ground, or adequate celestial illumination."

Kinda makes you think about your route.
