Begin/End of civil twilight is also worth paying attention to, because often the "magic" hour starts well before sunrise and lasts for a while after sunset. You missed the full moon by a day but it will be rising shortly after sunset tonight.

BTW I got this data from http://aa.usno.navy.mil/. Just click on "Data Services" and they have all kinds of cool stuff. I always use this to check civil twilight and sun/moon data for a location before traveling.
