Nautical Twilight
It was too nice an evening to retire in our campground for the night (last September) so we walked down to the local village on the Bay of Fundy to check out the action. It was pretty quiet, actually, which suited us just fine, and there was a nice pink glow in the sky after the sun had set. I gather nautical twilight officially happens when the sun is 6-12 degrees below the horizon but without any way to measure it and given that the lights on the pier and one of the boats had come on, it seemed more fitting than Civil or Astronomical Twilight.
