I'm trying to say very briefly that the night was starry and there was the moon also.
Question
Is it correct to say moon starry night? If not, do you see any option?
Edit
Maybe mooned starry nights?

Normally if it is a moonlit night, the stars are not as bright as they are on a night without a moon, but if you mean to say that the night has both a moon and bright stars, you could say that many ways:
"The sky was lit by the moon and the stars."
"The night was starry and moonlit."
"It was a starry, moonlit night."
etc.
But "moon starry night" does not sound idiomatic at all to me.

Unfortunately, "moon" as a verb has a couple of meanings that have nothing to do with the actual moon in the sky: merriam-webster.com/dictionary/moon - so if you tried to use "mooned" with the intended meaning "with the moon visible" that would not work.

I can see nothing wrong with "It was a starry night and the moon was also shining". Or just "The moon and stars were shining".
We don't say "a moony night", the phrase "a starry night" is something of a fixed idiom.
