Just a word of caution:

As an instrument student, you should be painfully aware that night
flight, with high clouds over mountainous terrain can cause
disorientation.

I love to fly at night - easy to see other a/c, and if on IFR, the
clouds can appear as pastel apparitions. But in the dark with few
lights below and none above, you can have a real battle making yourself
believe the guages - "I am not inverted. I am not inverted."

Later,
