Is there a noun that describes the light at dawn in the same way as twilight
describes the light at dusk?
Similarly, is there a dawn analogue to the adjective crepuscular ?
Many thanks for any suggestions!

Twilight refers to any time the sun is below the horizon, be it dawn or dusk. That would mean crepuscular refers to either one or both.

I was going to complain about a lack of research, but after a brief period of searching with Google, I have to agree it's hard to find quite what you're looking for here. Might I diffidently suggest examing the second line of The Star-spangled Banner and noting it doesn't use a single word to describe the moments after dawn?

I think you’ve misunderstood twilight, which goes both ways. The word that is restrictive to evening-only twilight is gloaming, but I know no “antonym†to gloaming that means the dawn version not the dusk one. Dawning perhaps.

Cocklight is more specific that twilight. Cocklight defines the mild orange red light at sunrise. Twilight is when the sun is at horizon, at dawn and eve too.

I was going to complain about a lack of research, but after a brief period of searching with Google, I have to agree it's hard to find quite what you're looking for here. Might I diffidently suggest examing the second line of The Star-spangled Banner and noting it doesn't use a single word to describe the moments after dawn?

I think you’ve misunderstood twilight, which goes both ways. The word that is restrictive to evening-only twilight is gloaming, but I know no “antonym†to gloaming that means the dawn version not the dusk one. Dawning perhaps.
