Example:
There was a bright moon in the sky. If it weren't for the fog, the streets would have looked incredibly [...].
I can't think of the right adjetive (aside of clear).
Any other suggestions?

1I don't think there is such a word. More importantly, though, that's a highly unnatural way of describing the scenery to begin with. If it's foggy, there isn't a bright moon in the sky, 'cause a bright moon in the sky means that the moon is bright when you look at it from earth. When there's a fog, you can't see the moon at all. I'd say something like, “High above, the moon shone out, but the streets of the city where cloaked in a thick fog so you couldn't see ten feet ahead of you on the ground”—that's a more natural way of looking at things.– Janus Bahs JacquetNov 13, 2013 at 9:45

1Please note that he is looking for a VERB ... should the OP not read "adjective" ? Why has nobody picked that up?– NamSandStormNov 13, 2013 at 10:35

@NamSandStorm Oh, you're right. Fixed.– janoChenNov 13, 2013 at 11:00

" If it weren't for the fog, the streets would have" shown with incredible clarity.– Wayfaring StrangerJul 20, 2017 at 23:01

Sharp might be the word you are looking for. You might also omit incredibly and use clearly outlined.
