Also for Alaska, night is defined as "When a prominent, unlighted object cannot be seen from 3sm, or the sun is more than 6 º below the horizon". Other Regs pertaining to Part 135 and commonly forgotten (I'd bet hardly any 135 pilots in Alaska are night current most of the year) are the 45 minute fuel reserve requirement (FAR 135.209), and VFR minimum altitudes (FAR 135.203(a)2). Not really relevant to your question but could be handy information. Bizjet is right.
