The Mossy Mole one is kinda wrong, for the one next to the Honey, you have to go through the crawlspace, where the Moleys hang out near the Herb in there

It says on the wiki "The best area to confirm the sky clarity is from the Astera Tradeyard as you get a clear field of view while looking out to the sea." But other than that the conditions are just Clear Nights. I hope this helps :)
