Love found in New Milton on such a night? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

moonlit

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'such a night?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'love found in new milton' is the wordplay.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'found in' is an insertion indicator.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'milton' with letters rearranged gives 'monlit'.
'o' going within 'monlit' is 'MOONLIT'.

'on' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for moonlit that I've seen before include "Illuminated by satellite" , "gently enlightened?" , "Illuminated by night" , "like Titania's unlucky meeting" , "Gently illuminated" .)
