starlight = solas réalta
moonlit = lasta ón ngealach ( I think ) |

That's moonlight, a Mhaidhc!
I'd prefer a sentence with the intended context of moonlit before offereing a translation! |

Here's my guess:
The patio outside was moonlit.
Bhi an lochtán lasmuigh lasta ón ngealach.
--
Not sure if "lasmuigh" is the right word here.
Same with "lasta"; it means to ignite, to light something in the sense of fire, not sure if its use is valid here.

Bhí an lochtán soilsithe ag an ngealach
Translating single words is a bad idea:
For example, a moonlit night is simply "oíche ghealaí" |

Ok, I understand I'll try a sentence: Welcome to my moonlit party |

Welcome to my moonlit party...
Fáilte go dtí mo chóisir faoi sholas na gealaí
Literally: Welcome to my party under the light of the moon |

Fáilte chuig mo chóisir faoi sholas na gealaí.
(chuig is better than go dtí in that case, since cóisir isn’t a place but an event). |
